==Biographical Sketch<ref>I believe all of the information presented about Oliver James to be correct and supported by thorough analysis of the evidence. However, several sources contain conflicting information.  I have made an effort to be as transparent as possible as to which evidence was reviewed and how each conclusion was made. For more specific information about any of the conclusions drawn follow the links to the original source, and review the attached proofs for each claim. All proofs can be located Oliver's [[/Proofs|Proof page]] or by following the proof footnotes</ref>==
