Alfred Nobel's brother did die in 1888 and a French newspaper did publish a premature obituary but it didn't call him a "Merchant of Death". In fact, the term "Merchant of Death" was coined in 1932, 54 years after this obituary! I wrote up my evidence in my webpage, [1] but I have a conflict of interest towards editing the page itself.
I hope I am doing this right,
Thanks,
Kathy

Hello, Wikifolks. I have just uploaded my first image to Wikipedia. It's a photograph of the small (gnome-sized) sculpture of Alfred Nobel, by Hungarian sculptor Mihály Kolodko, which resides in a park in Stockholm (I mean the sculpture resides there, not the sculptor). The photograph was taken by a personal friend who is currently in Stockholm and has dual citizenship in Sweden and USA. She has verbally given whatever publication rights may exist to me as a (partial) birthday gift. So, other than assuring you (here) that no one other than me owns the copyright to this image (if there is a copyright to it), I'm not sure what else I need to do to officially put it here, copyright-wise. Is there some text I need to sign? I tried to look this up but all I see is notifications that some rule has changed in some way; the notifications seem to have been posted more than a decade ago.
Please advise, and, if I've somehow broken or bent a rule in my ignorance, feel free to revert this contribution and let me know what's wrong about it.
Thank you, HandsomeMrToad ( talk) 15:45, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
If this hadn't already appeared on the main page, ... that
Alfred Nobel created the
Nobel Prize after reading an erroneous
obituary condemning him as a
war profiteer?
would've made an excellent DYK. I hope DYK changes its rules to allow things like this someday. {{u|
