Talk:E. Frederic Morrow

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I agree with Wikipedia policies on sourcing and citing. But my tiny addition to this page creates a dilemma, one I'm sure has come up before. I went to Bowdoin College. When I found conflicts between perfectly reputable newspapers and magazines on where E.F.M. went to college, I inquired, and found that he went to Bowdoin, but had to return home to assist his family before he could graduate. He's dead, but my inquiry could be an invasion of privacy. Even if I were willing to post my source's name (which I'm not), what is the source-ing value of a private email? Even if I called his survivors and asked them (and they happened to know the answer), why should anyone believe a posting that "I talked to them?" Tim Stagehand 14:09, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
