• ... that the first surviving quintuplets in the United States once had a dedicated sign in South Dakota that said "Aberdeen — Home of the Fischer quints"?
  • Reviewed: QPQ 1 of 2
  • Comment: I found out about the quintuplets after checking out the July 31, 1965 issue of The Saturday Evening Post from the local library. They have a ton of great old magazines.

• QPQ needed. I like the dyk. A photo would make it better and 63 is a key year for pd. Anyway I am stung in that department so I will not try. The article interested me. I added a large number of articles to the talk page - which I clipped. Also I found another set of quints without an article Pietos quints in Venezuela born around the same time.. but I digress. Lets get this one going. Bruxton (talk) 00:56, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

• Bruxton I posted a QPQ above, but I linked it as QPQ 1 of 2 since it was a double nomination that I reviewed. I didn't know that 1963 was a public domain year. The magazine I checked out from the library has full color spreads of them from 1965. Could that work? SL93 (talk) 02:39, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

Before 64 images had to be copyrighted and renewed, 64 and after the term is 75 years. Maybe worth a try. Works published before 1964 in the US are all in the public domain, excepting only those for which a renewal was registered with the US Copyright Office.[1][2] Relatively few works from this era have had their copyrights renewed. A US Copyright Office study in 1961 found that fewer than 15% of registered copyrights had been renewed. Bruxton (talk) 03:25, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

• Some (solicited) alts :) I couldn't work in the "first surviving" thing, it didn't seem like something I could pipe theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 01:32, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
  • ALT1: ... that the Fischer quintuplets, at just one month old, received a 50,000-person parade in their honour?
  • ALT2: ... that the town of Aberdeen, South Dakota, proclaimed itself the "home of the Fischer quints"?
  • ALT3: ... that the Fischer quintuplets had six other siblings?
  • ALT4: ... that the publicity of the Fischer quintuplets caused suffering for their mother?
    • theleekycauldron I like the alts, but ALT2 should probably say "proclaimed" because the sign isn't up anymore. SL93 (talk) 02:39, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

• valereee, SL93 and I can't promote this – any chance you want to take a spin at it with the prep set promotion tool? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 22:41, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
