It looks like the name Georges Henri Gottlieb Jahr came from s:The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Jahr, Georges Henri Gottlieb, which came from this entry in the 1879 American Cyclopaedia.[7] Authority Control links on the article give his name as Gottlieb Heinrich Georg Jahr. The references on the French Wikipedia article and this one are weak, one broken. His American books gave his name as "G. H. G. Jahr."[8] Gottlieb Heinrich Georg Jahr seems to be the accepted name, so I suggest moving this article to that name and putting a redirect at "Georg Heinrich Gottlieb" to this page. - Outlier59 (talk) 00:18, 11 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
