Often articles have an IPA pronunciation of the subject title, but this one doesn't.
I bring it up because I hear many people pronounce the name as "urp", but I went to college with a fellow named Jim Earp, who claimed Wyatt as a distant relative and insisted that his surname is pronounced as "arp". He said that this was how the Earp family always pronounced it through generations, and "urp" was the uninformed pronunciation of ignorant Yankees who didn't know better. He himself didn't have a southern accent; he sounded midwestern to me. Naturally I cannot add an IPA pronunciation on the basis of a personal anecdote, but I offer it as a data point. ~ Anachronist ( talk) 04:37, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
There are two photographs of the Dexter saloon. One is indeed the Dexter, and the other is the Second Class Saloon, not the Dexter. They are not the same building, of this there is no doubt. Bunco man ( talk) 13:25, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
Hello, as a descendant of Tom Mix, I happen to be in possession of the pocket watch that Tom Mix gave to Wyatt Earp while he was living with Mix near Los Angeles towards the end of his life. Would it be appropriate to add photographs of this watch (which includes an inscription to Mr Earp from Mr Mix) on this page? I am the owner of the watch and can contribute the photo under the open licenses used by Wikipedia. I just don't know what the rules are for contributing photos (as opposed to content, which has to be reputably sourced). Thanks for any guidance! I'll include photographs here for now, so that their utility can be assessed by others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevemidgley ( talk • contribs) 00:19, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
I took those photographs and I own the watch featured. Thank you for your help publishing them! I'm glad to be able to contribute this small bit of history! Stevemidgley ( talk) 05:05, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
Ending sentence implies Dodge City is 150 miles east of Wichita rather than west. Rairden ( talk) 03:18, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
I noticed this as well. Please correct. 2601:1C0:6C00:C6F0:57A:F5B:5948:60F7 ( talk) 04:28, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
The photograph "Wyatt Earp and mother Virginia Ann Cooksey Earp c. 1855" is anachronistic. The woman in the photograph is wearing a dress that would not have been worn in the 1850s, when women's dresses were cut to emphasize a narrow waist, and the skirt is too narrow as well. The sleeves are also too narrow for a dress from the 1850, and the woman's hair is also not consistent with the time period. The woman in the photograph is dressed more in line with a woman of the 1880s. 71.179.230.19 ( talk) 23:58, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
