Requested move[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: no consensus to move. No sources for McNeil as correct spelling have been produced, and MacNeil appears to be the common name in any case. Favonian (talk) 11:05, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hermon Atkins MacNeil → Hermon Atkins McNeil – It is a common misconception of McNeil's last name to be spelled 'MacNeil,' and his relative later confirmed the true spelling of McNeil's name. relisting Andrewa (talk) 09:51, 3 July 2011 (UTC) Requested by Cossacksson (talk · contribs) in this edit. File move tag changed to requested move tag by Themeparkgc Talk 07:35, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting... if it's a common misconception then perhaps this is the name he's best known by? Or can a case be made in terms of Wikipedia policy on article titles? Because if not, I'm afraid it should stay where it is. Andrewa (talk) 09:51, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Spelling of last name[edit]

According to the Smithsonian Institution Research Information System (SIRIS), the spelling he used when signing his sculptures was M-A-C-N-E-I-L.[1] BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 21:13, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ...............[edit]

where was MacNeil born? One editor recently posted that he was born in:

[[South Malden (now Everett), Massachusetts]].

This is really unwikipedic looking, but is it correct? I started looking around and it gets messy pretty quickly. Looking in Mantle Fielding, the standard for American artists I find "born Everett MA" ^[1] "Who's Who in American Art" agrees. ^[2], as do several other standard references ^[3] ^[4]. Proske, whom I have a lot a respect for and trust in says "Chelsea, MA" ^[5]. McSpadden, who actually interviewed MacNeil writes, "born at Prattville near Chelsea" MA ^[6]. Craven, who begins his section on MacNeil by quoting McSpadden, has Mac being born "near Chelsea." ^[7] So, we should say what?
