I will take care of this merge in the next couple of days. I don't think there's much need to wait, as the text is almost identical. -- Mikeblas 05:34, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Copyvio
I do not intend to go through all of the rigamarole that Wikipedia makes you go through, but this article was pretty obviously copied from
and that website does not indicate their articles are in the public domain. Someone should rewrite or remove this article. Hal Jespersen 19:46, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Good news in 2006
New International Encyclopedia contains his biography. His name was Ephraim Elmer Ellsworth, so I have created an article using that [correct]] name. Superslum 19:34, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
Although he might have been christened Ephraim Elmer he went by Elmer Ephraim all of his adult life, so that is what he should be called. Historians don't refer to Thomas Woodrow Wilson or Hiram Ulysses Grant except in passing, unless they're being pedantic.Saxophobia 00:36, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

- According to: Boatner, Mark M. III, The Civil War Dictionary: Revised Edition, David McKay Company, Inc., 1984, the name given there is Ellsworth, E(phraim) Elmer. No matter what he goes by, that's his name. The title of both pages for Grant and Wilson give Ulysses S. Grant and Woodrow Wilson and in the first line says their full name of Hiram Ulysses Grant and Thomas Woodrow Wilson.
-
- If Ellsworth went by Elmer his whole life, the article could be named Elmer Ellsworth and the first line have Ephraim Elmer Ellsworth listed as his birth name. Just like Grant and Wilson. Leobold1 (talk) 04:27, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
