Issues edit

van Melle went from the Netherlands not to "South Africa", but to one of the 4 colonies that would be merged into South Africa 4 years later. We really would have a better article is we stated which one he went to.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:27, 17 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Pen name edit

John is an Anglicized version of his Dutch first name. I am not sure calling it a pen name or pseudonym really is the right turn of phrase.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:28, 17 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
