I'm gonna USE. Just accept it, and we'll all get along. I think the "Hull" article should mention that the famous character 'Robinson Crusoe' departed from Hull for his famous, though fictional voyage, arguably the very first episode of LOST. This inclusion gets exxed because it's too unimportant and non-real. I intend no violations of any copyrights of any kind.

\The fact that Robinson Crusoe departed, albeit fictionally, from Hull is eminently mentionable. The Adventures of RC, Daniel Defoe's most famous book, is an historical landmark in the cultural memory of not merely English discourse, but that of much of Europe and her descendants. I could list a raft of reasons of this ilk. But also, there is the reason that any Encyclopedia needs "color" in its phenomenology. I don't mean gaudiness at all. I mean just what I inserted: Factual notes that help the "important" data with mnemonic gravity, whenever it can. And being the departure-port for a work of literature that was so influential and weighty for its generations of readership makes it an appropriate inclusion for Hull.
