Was He Disbarred?

Nothing in the article, though he was sent to prison for a felony. That usually does it.109.159.118.250 (talk) 17:25, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hoax Tag

A previous version of this article referred to the contents as a "Fictional Account". This hoax tag, therefore, should not be removed until the article is referenced with reputable sources.--M @r ē ino 22:14, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There was a fictional book written about the life of George Remus, this is probably why it was referred to as a fictional account. Here's a link to a story about it in a Cincinnati magazine Citybeat http://www.citybeat.com/2002-01-03/books.shtml .

Third Opinion

The tag should remain until sources are provided. If it's so important to certain editors to remove the tag, then go find some reliable sources and cite them here properly.

All Wikipedia articles are subject to verification and if proper sources are not provided, the content may be disputed. Kafziel 14:26, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The account given seems consistent with the story in THE LONG THIRST--PROHIBITION IN AMERICA: 1920-1933 by Thomas M. Coffey, W.W. Norton & Co, New York City 1975. Tex 18:09, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

PS Here I am speaking only of Remus. I don't know about the hotel mentioned, or indeed what possible bearing it has on Remus. Tex 18:16, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Remus and Fitzgerald

I'm sticking this in here until it can be verified tied back to the article subject, which it currently is not Grobertson 20:29, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Seelbach Hilton is a hotel that has attracted the rich and famous for almost 100 years. F. Scott Fitzgerald was one of the hotel's most significant visitors, as he references the hotel in his book "The Great Gatsby." The Seelbach Hilton's past is filled with tales of 1920s gangsters and U.S. presidents.

In the 1920s, Prohibition contributed to the wealth of underworld kingpins who were drawn to the most glamorous spots for cards and leisure. The Seelbach, as the grandest hotel in Louisville and the center of Kentucky's bourbon and whiskey country, attracted some of the most famous gangsters. Notorious figures included Lucky Luciano and Dutch Schultz -- known as the "Beer Baron of the Bronx."

Pontiac gifts for 1923 party

The reference to guests receiving new Pontiacs at a 1923 party is incorrect, as Pontiacs were only introduced in 1926. Asd36f (talk) 01:19, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Photo of Imogene Remus

I'm no photo expert - can anyone confirm if this photo at the Library of Congress is of Imogene Remus? Kelly ^hi! 22:10, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Compare with this copyrighted photo: Imogene Remus, 1923

Yes, that is Imogene. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Remushistory (talk • contribs) 14:47, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
