Talk:Lionel Johnson

Untitled

While having the Dark Angels Space Marine chapter and primarch named after him and his work would probably be the most significant recognition in popular culture, the sentence needs to be cleaned up and appropriately noted.Werewolf nr (talk) 16:41, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Additionally, while anybody familiar with the Dark Angel's chapter would come to this conclusion, are there official references? Have Rogue Trader or Games Workshop said anything about this?Werewolf nr (talk) 16:50, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

yes, litteraly the fact that the primarch have the same name and for his legion name 77.205.142.182 (talk) 08:01, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Lionel Johnson's relationship to Lord Alfred Douglas

In the section about Johnson's life, the article refers to Johnson's "cousin Lord Alfred Douglas." Many other sources refer to Johnson and "Bosie" as cousins. But per an email on March 17, 2021 to me from Nina Antonia (who edited Incurable, cited in the article), Johnson and Bosie were not cousins. Given that Bosie had numerous relatives who had surname "Johnstone" (with a terminal E, and a T after the S), including his paternal great-great grandmother, who was born Grace Johnstone, and that Lionel's paternal great-grand uncle, John Allen Johnson-Walsh, also spelled his original surname alternatively as "Johnston" (NB: without the terminal E), it seemed at least plausible to me that Lionel and Bosie might have been more distant cousins. But Ms. Antonia assured me in a follow-on email of March 18, 2021 that Lionel and Bosie were not related at all. (I have no knowledge of the matter either way.)
