Photo on Truman A. Merriman page

I agree with you that it's a photo of Clinton L. Merriam. I compared this photo to another one of C. L. Merriam, and it's clear they are two photos of the same individual.

I'll correct the description of this photo on Wikimedia Commons. I'll also send a correction to the Library of Congress so someone on the staff there can update the description.

Thanks for catching this. Billmckern (talk) 12:39, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Albert Rust Picture

Hi OBlevins, If that picture truly is of Albert Rust. Then please share your source with wikimedia so that the correct filing can be done. Thanks a lot.--Jamo58 (talk) 06:22, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

I second that. Note that the photo is currently used on both the David Kilgore and Albert Rust article and if I wasn't pedantic enough to check the history I would have just removed it from the Albert Rust article because all info available suggested it was David Kilgore. It's easily possible someone is going to remove it from Rust if the info isn't provided and updated ASAP. Nil Einne (talk) 11:35, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

I just added a different illustration of David Kilgore to the Kilgore memorial. Other illustrations of both Kilgore and Rust indicate that the one which was on the Kilgore page -- the full length Brady photo from the National Archives -- is actually Rust

My proof is given by a key found in the Library of Congress to a composite photograph of members of the House of Representatives of the 36th Congress found in NARA

Key found here: http://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2014646245/ For composite found here: https://research.archives.gov/id/528743

Albert Rust is number 220 in the key which matches the photograph in NARA

Additionally, a photograph of David Kilgore is provided in McClee's Gallery and it is clearly not the same person (Kilgore happens to be number 231 in the same composite photograph) OBlevins (talk) 22:39, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Charles Anthon

Hi, concerning the image at Charles Anthon you recently removed. Could you please clarify, and perhaps provide links at Talk:Charles Anthon? Thank you, Taketa (talk) 07:20, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

John A. Gurley

Thanks for the catch on mis-identified photo that is actually Mallory. That is not the first NARA labeled photo in error.

What source have you seen which demonstrates NARA has mislabeled the Twiggs picture? BusterD (talk) 23:25, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

@BusterD: How about the same images taken from that photograph here for starters:

Also, an engraving from the same photo in A Child's History of the Unites States by John Gilmary Shea, Vol. 2 (1872), between page 208 and 209

• Thanks. I started googling both figures and realized it was obvious based on other images of the subjects. I see this sort of thing is something you care about. Thanks again! BusterD (talk) 15:05, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
