If the "designs" for the medals were "published" and "registered" (and their "creation," "publication," and "copyrights"/"trademarks" pertaining to those "designs" for the medals) were renewed in Sweden after 1902, that information needs to be researched and taken account of as well.

*These principles also apply to material about living persons in other articles and for all articles on any subjects.

== Fact Checking ==

On October 7 you posted the following in a discussion about the MLA Style Manual, " If I recall correctly, after Achtert's death, Gibaldi revised it and became sole author".

When I referred your comment to MLA I received the following response,
"The Misplaced Pages entry you sent to us makes a false assumption--that Walter Achtert's name was not listed on the second edition of the MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing, published in 1998, because he had died. I understand that Walter left the MLA staff around 1995 and was not involved in the preparation of the 1998 volume."

My brother left academic life and has been living a reclusive life. That being the case, it might have been possible that I had missed his death. However, after much anguish and effort I can assure you that you know nothing about his death because he is very much alive.

The casual reference to the "fact" was unnecessary for your discussion and raises some issues about fact checking.

I had already corrected this error. This is an unnecessary continuation of previously-changed material. It was a mistake that I have already apologized for a few weeks ago now. A source that I had encountered had assumed that Achtert had died. It was the source's error. Sometimes errors do occur in sources, and when I discover them, I correct the erroneous material; in this case I removed the erroneous reference. After learning that a family member was trying to contact me by email (which I do not use in dealing with Misplaced Pages), I researched the matter further and corrected the error. I removed the references due to my realizations of that mistake. As I can no longer find the source, I cannot refer you to it. ''I do apologize for the inadvertent mistake''. It was an honest error. I will be archiving this discussion. You can find the previous discussion already archived in ]. (That is where I explained that I had already corrected the error in response to being alerted that someone were trying to email me about my Oct. 7 talk page comment.) --] (]) 02:17, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
