I have amended this slightly because as it stood, the spoiler warning appeared even before the title of the work it applied to was mentioned, which is a bit useless. Also the paragraph seemed to say that the idea that Gull was disturbed following strokes was invented for the film adaptation, when in fact it is clearly in the graphic novel. I have however left the latter bit untouched because I have not seen the film. Thermaland 15:04, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

"Gull has been suggested as a suspect in the Jack the Ripper murders, related to an alleged royal/masonic conspiracy. At the time of the frenzied Whitechapel murders, Gull was in his seventies and already had suffered a stroke. For this reason, he features in a number of Ripper-related works of fiction:"
Was he featured because of the stroke? How many people who had strokes were featured in these works? How did he become a suspect and what does that have to do with his stroke? 4.249.3.107 ( talk) 18:15, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
Having long thought that this article did not do justice to the subject, I have provided a major rewrite and trust this meets with approval. The main amendments are: (1) extended structured biography; (2) addition of a "contributions to medical science section, which describes Gull's significant medical work (entirely missing from the previous version); (3) rewrite of the Whitechapel Murders section, focussing on the history of how Gull came to be linked to these crimes; (4) removal of the fictional elements of the Whitechapel murders to a new "popular culture" section; (5) addition of photographs and graphics.

The article states that, "Stowell studied under Sir William Gull as a young man...". This statement is unsourced. If it is both correct that Sir William Gull died in 1890 and Stowell was born in 1885, Stowell must have been under five years old when he did these studies.

The result of the move request was: Move. Clear consensus that "William Gull" is the common name, and that this subject is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Cúchullain t/ c 14:33, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
