Attention?[]
I assume that perhaps the background should be amended, as Data's quote was "Mister Jabez Wilson, employee of the Red Headed League, dupe of a gang of criminals" - the names of these criminals are not relevant or stated in the episode. --LauraCC (talk) 16:58, September 21, 2015 (UTC)
- Feel free to rewrite. This has been a recurring issue with some of these Sherlock Holmes articles. -- Capricorn (talk) 03:13, September 23, 2015 (UTC)
- I see you've acted on this. Let's just archive the original paragraph here for future reference: -- Capricorn (talk) 21:55, September 23, 2015 (UTC)
- Jabez Wilson was a fictional pawnbroker from the Sherlock Holmes story, "The Red-Headed League", who owned a pawn shop in Saxe-Coburg in London. He was able to land a high-paying position in the Red-Headed League thanks to his fiery red hair. Unbeknownst to him, however, the league was in fact a ruse created by the criminals John Clay, who was in his employ under the pseudonym Vincent Spaulding, and William Morris, to keep him occupied while they attempted to use his pawn shop in a plot to steal French gold.

Although the original story went to great lengths to describe the fiery hue of Jabez Wilson's hair, which is central to its plot, the actor does not appear to have a particularly bright shade of hair.
