Tier justification
Tier 3: Wikipedia is pointer-only per CREDIBILITY.md. Used here strictly to record day-month tokens (December 6 / August 23) and exact place tokens (Dirschau / Tczew, Oak Bluffs Massachusetts) that the Tier-1 ICP page (src-icp-eisenstaedt-archive) and Tier-3 LIFE archive (src-life-archive-eisenstaedt-bio) state at year-only resolution. A future fetch of the August 1995 NYT obituary (Frank Lieberman) or the Eisenstaedt Foundation page would promote these claims to Tier 2/3.
Key excerpts / pages
Verbatim from the article (fetched 2026-05-06):
- Opening sentence: “Alfred Eisenstaedt (December 6, 1898 – August 23, 1995) was a German-born American photographer and photojournalist.”
- Birth: December 6, 1898, in Dirschau (Tczew), West Prussia, German Empire.
- Death: August 23, 1995 (aged 96), in Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts, U.S.
Notes
- Per
CREDIBILITY.md, Wikipedia is treated as a pointer source — the December 6, 1898 birth and August 23, 1995 death tokens, and the Dirschau / Oak Bluffs place names, should be promoted to Tier 1/2 against the NYT obituary or a peer-reviewed Eisenstaedt monograph before being treated as authoritative for downstream training data. - The 1898 / 1995 year-only resolution is independently anchored at Tier 1 by the ICP archive page; the year-tokens are not in dispute. The day-month tokens carry pointer status.
