Status of copyright issues

The article appears to be a close paraphrase of this article at the New York State Military Museum site, whose copyright status is not explicitly stated. I spoke to the executive director, who indicated it can be treated as public domain, and will arrange to get this in writing.--SPhilbrick T 17:33, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's been through the CP process twice. :/ Pending verification of permission, it's been stubbed back. It can be restored, of course, once that arrives. Alternatively, anyone is free to expand the article with original text. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 20:46, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I just received a copy of the permissions email. I will add the OTRS pending--SPhilbrick T 14:43, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Frederick E. Humphreys → Frederic E. Humphreys – Spelling used in signature, military records, New York Times obituary, West Point alumni records and gravestone. – Maliepa (talk) 16:25, 7 September 2024 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). Maliepa (talk) 18:55, 8 September 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 05:06, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no disagreement that the grandfather of F. E. Humphreys, Dr. Frederick Humphreys had the given name "Frederick". It is less certain whether his uncle F. H. Humphreys went by Frederic or Frederick. His gravesite has engravings with both "Frederic H." [1] and "Frederick H." [2]

Some of the evidence that the given name of F. E. Humphreys was "Frederic" is as follows:

Entry and signature image in the 1906 Howitzer yearbook.[3]
Commission as a second lieutenant of engineers in the June 26, 1906 Congressional Record.[4]
Birth certificate submitted in a 1913 New York court case.[5]
Federal Militia Bureau records (1922).[6]
West Point obituary (1941).[7]
Army Aviation Digest biography (1962).[8]
West Point alumni records (1971).[9]

Subsequent authors have used both spellings. A 1911 court document has both spellings on one page.[10]

Unfortunately, both "Frederic" [11] and "Frederick" [12] have appeared on his gravestone at Arlington National Cemetery. The name currently reported on-line is "Frederic" [13] [14] – Maliepa (talk) 18:55, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
