A prime source of an untrustworthy statement appears wherever the descriptive "National Academy" is produced. Several organizations were called "the National Academy" by writers.
Daniel Chester French (1850-1931) was a member of the 1780 organization. Although he was known as a sculptor, he may have belonged to the 1904 organization since he was also a capable writer. Also, he was a highly-regarded and admired citizen.
Augustus Saint-Gaudens was a sculptor who belonged to both the 1780 and the 1904 organizations.
The expression "Board of Education" was a commonly-employed term in the United States for about 70 years (1870-1940). It referred to a unit of the Federal government whose official name was "Bureau of Education" (later changed to "Office of Education"). An erroneous entry at Royal Dixon mentions the "Board of Education." The expression should have used the official name, i. e., "Bureau of Education" (or "Office of Education"). The terms "Board of Education" and "Bureau of Education" appear at various places in the encyclopedia including at times when the official name was "Office of Education."

Strong evidence indicates that the name "Office of Education" remained the official name of the unit continuously from the 1870s to 1972 when the unit was dissolved. After about 1872, all of the entries that refer to the "Board of Education" are improper, and may be classified as being errors. People were employed by the "Office of Education," not by the "Bureau of Education" (officially, that name was nonexistent). GhostofSuperslum13:52, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This might be a different anglicisation? "Mechlin" is the one name used by the Catholic Encyclopedia (possibly becaus eof the Latin name, though). Circeus (talk) 22:12, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Cautionary note: It is possible that neither the father nor the son was a General. The son fought in the Franco-Prussian War (1870-71) at about 21 years of age. Perhaps he was a very young (honorary) General. I have not seen any evidence of the father ever having served in the Army. GhostofSuperslum16:23, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sachaline is an article which reads this way: "The plant is a native of Siberia from whence ..." which is not proper English. User:It's-is-not-a-genitive repaired that grammatical error.
