Spelling of his name
[edit]I have seen his last name spelled as "Payne" (as it is here) and as "Paine". I know that the spellings were somewhat interchangable in the 1700s, but by 1800 people with this name tended to pick one or the other. Which is correct? And do we have a source for this determination? Blueboar 21:52, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
References
[edit]Consensus has determined that Find a Grave is an unreliable source by one or more of the following policies;
- 1)-WP:SOURCES; Articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy.
- 2)- WP:NOTRELIABLE; Questionable sources are those with a poor reputation for checking the facts, or with no editorial oversight.
- 3)- WP:SELFPUBLISH; Find a Grave is user edited and uses anonymous or pseudonymous editors.
- 4)- WP:SPS; This includes any website whose content is largely user-generated, including the Internet Movie Database, Cracked.com, CBDB.com, and so forth, with the exception of material on such sites that is labeled as originating from credentialed members of the sites' editorial staff, rather than users. Find a Grave is not currently specifically named as is IMBd but falls under "and so forth". Rational dictates that Find a Grave, while not specifically listed by name in WP:SPS, certainly falls under the criteria. Otr500 (talk) 18:31, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
