Tier justification

Tier 3: Wikipedia is pointer-only per CREDIBILITY.md. Used here strictly to record day-month tokens (May 26 / October 11) and the San Francisco place-of-death token that the Tier-1 ICP page (src-icp-lange-archive) states at year-only resolution. A future fetch of the October 1965 NYT obituary or the Oakland Museum of California’s archive page would promote these claims to Tier 2/3.

Key excerpts / pages

Verbatim from the article (fetched 2026-05-07; opening sentence and infobox):

  • Birth: “May 26, 1895” in “Hoboken, New Jersey”.
  • Death: “October 11, 1965” in “San Francisco, California”.
  • Nationality: American.
  • Opening description: Lange was an “American documentary photographer and photojournalist, best known for her Depression-era work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA).”

Notes

  • Per CREDIBILITY.md, Wikipedia is treated as a pointer source — the May 26, 1895 birth, October 11, 1965 death, and San Francisco deathplace tokens should be promoted to Tier 1/2 against the NYT obituary or the Oakland Museum of California’s Lange archive before being treated as authoritative for downstream training data.
  • The 1895 / 1965 year-only resolution is independently anchored at Tier 1 by the ICP archive page (src-icp-lange-archive); the year-tokens are not in dispute. The day-month tokens carry pointer status.
  • The article (per the WebFetch summary) does not mention The Family of Man exhibition. The connection is anchored at the plate level via the MoMA Master Checklist.
