Talk:Frederic Eugene Ives

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The New Encyclopedia Britannica, 15th ed, 1994 lists Ives, Frederic Eugene (no k in his first name). Which spelling is correct? -- Hey Teacher 06:39, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Not to mention the Smithsonian (in the ext link) and the USPS, which issued a stamp for him in 1996. What authority is there for a 'k' in the name? Stan 21:46, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

With books.google.com you can verify that the k came in late; most early books use Frederic. Dicklyon 22:44, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Oops, looks like it was I who moved it. I'm not sure what I was reading at the time, but there are plenty of both. Let's move it back. Dicklyon 22:47, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

OK, I moved it back and fixed a bunch of links. Dicklyon 23:02, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
