Tier justification
Tier 3: Wikipedia is pointer-only per CREDIBILITY.md. Used here strictly to record day-month tokens (December 27 / February 18) and the New York place-of-death specificity that the Tier-1 ICP page does not state at this granularity, and to confirm the “American” nationality framing post-emigration.

Notes
- Per
CREDIBILITY.md, Wikipedia is treated as a pointer source. The December 27, 1906 / February 18, 1999 day-month tokens are independently corroborated at Tier 3 by Britannica (src-britannica-andreas-feininger), where the same tokens render in the registry<dd>elements (“born December 27, 1906, Paris, France” / “died February 18, 1999, New York, New York, U.S.”). - The 1906 / 1999 year-only resolution is independently anchored at Tier 1 by the ICP archive page (src-icp-andreas-feininger-archive); the year-tokens are not in dispute.
- Wikipedia does NOT mention The Family of Man on Andreas Feininger’s article (verified 2026-05-09 by string-search; “Family of Man” returns 0 occurrences in the fetched HTML).
- The two-plate count in FoM is independently verified by strict-match grep against
data/photographs.csv(2026-05-09).
