Re: Solomon Marcus Schiller-Szinessy
Re your messages: There seems to be some discrepancies over his middle name. While the birth certificate does show Marcus, various other online sources has his middle name as Mayer. Since there is this discrepancy, I am a bit leery about moving the article to one name or the other. I recommend that you ask the advice of other editors to see if this discrepancy can be resolved. You might want to ask at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Jewish history or Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Judaism for assistance. I am sure that if you ask there, somebody will be willing to help.
On a different note, I had to remove the text you copied from AIM25 here into the article as it is unclear what the copyright status is of that text and it may not be authorized for inclusion on Misplaced Pages. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 08:03, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

- One issue that you may have proving that his middle name is Marcus instead of Mayer is that unless an outside reliable source has also concluded that his middle name is Marcus then your proof could be viewed as original research which is not allowed on Misplaced Pages. I do not think that you have this issue since multiple sources are listing his name both ways. One suggestion I do have is that if you do resolve the issue, you may want to change the lead of the article such that it notes the erroneous name. For example:
- Solomon Marcus Schiller-Szinessy, sometimes called Solomon Mayer Schiller-Szinessy, was a Hungarian...
- That way other readers will be aware that sometimes his name is improperly listed. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 08:48, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
