Nice piece of corrective research. Thanks for the contri.

Not to mention your attitude toward the humble but very necessary proof and line editing.

Alfred Heurteaux

Hello Roger. A generalised mistake don't become a truth. There were proofs on french Alfred Heurteaux article justifying the E in the name. Two of them are documents of the time :

• Look at the title of this war photo
• And this military air service file of 1st World War about Heurteaux

Please, next time thanks to look French references when it's about French people ;-)))--Janseniste (talk) 19:22, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments and for putting the picture of Heurteaux on Commons (I've added it to the English article). I did look at the sources: it's funny how the spelling has changed over time. Here, we go with the version used by the preponderance of reliable sources, I guess. Incidentally, you must have been very pleased to get a message from his great grandson :)  Roger Davies ^talk 11:24, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
