Eugene Zimmerman → Eugène Zimmerman – See below EdJohnston (talk) 04:29, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Proposed by User:In ictu oculi at WP:RM/TR because of 'WP:FRMOS, sources'.


 * Oppose: Though Zimmermann was born in Switzerland, his professional reputation was gained in the United States where he does not seem to have used a grave accent. The mentions of Zimmermann that are found by Google refer to him without the accent. One of the Google hits, a book by Albert Faust, refers to him as of German birth or descent. If that's the case one can speculate he was born as Eugen Zimmermann. There is nothing visible in Google Books to give details about his birth. EdJohnston (talk) 04:29, 20 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Oppose – The Anglicized name seems well established. Dicklyon (talk) 05:38, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Photograph
The photograph presented on this page does not show Eugene "Zim" Zimmerman the cartoonist, but Eugene "Zim" Zimmerman the railroad tycoon of Cincinnati who passed in 1914. Cf. Cresco plain dealer. (Cresco, Howard County, Iowa), 25 Dec. 1914. Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers. Lib. of Congress. 

A photo of "Zim", the Cartoonist can be found here, albeit in bad quality: Bismarck daily tribune. (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]), 15 May 1909. Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers. Lib. of Congress. 

Can someone confirm this, please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.247.127.132 (talk) 15:53, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
