Requested move

The result of the move request was: no consensus to move. No sources for McNeil as correct spelling have been produced, and MacNeil appears to be the common name in any case. Favonian (talk) 11:05, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Hermon Atkins MacNeil → Hermon Atkins McNeil – It is a common misconception of McNeil's last name to be spelled 'MacNeil,' and his relative later confirmed the true spelling of McNeil's name. relisting Andrewa (talk) 09:51, 3 July 2011 (UTC) Requested by in this edit.

 * Relisting... if it's a common misconception then perhaps this is the name he's best known by? Or can a case be made in terms of Wikipedia policy on article titles? Because if not, I'm afraid it should stay where it is. Andrewa (talk) 09:51, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Spelling of last name
According to the Smithsonian Institution Research Information System (SIRIS), the spelling he used when signing his sculptures was M-A-C-N-E-I-L.  BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 21:13, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

So .   .   .  .  .  .  .  . . . . . . . . . ...............
where was MacNeil born? One editor recently posted that he was born in:
 * Everett), Massachusetts]].

This is really unwikipedic looking, but is it correct? I started looking around and it gets messy pretty quickly. Looking in Mantle Fielding, the standard for American artists I find "born Everett MA" "Who's Who in American Art" agrees. , as do several other standard references. Proske, whom I have a lot a respect for and trust in says "Chelsea, MA". McSpadden, who actually interviewed MacNeil writes, "born at Prattville near Chelsea" MA. Craven, who begins his section on MacNeil by quoting McSpadden, has Mac being born "near Chelsea." So, we should say what?
