I have found proof that Nobel did not create the Nobel Prize because of a premature obituary...[edit]
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.
Yeah, it's almost certainly an urban legend. Here's an article from Smithsonian Magazine on it which, despite its title, essentially dismisses the story: [2]. Here's a further discussion on Stack Exchange: [3]Mahousu (talk) 18:14, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It's already at Personal life ("Nobel's longest-lasting relationship was with Sofija Hess from Celje whom he met in 1876.") Of course the article seems to be incomplete in many aspects, and needs to be developed further. (CC)Tbhotch™18:58, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Picture of the knee-high sculpture of Alfred Nobel by Mihály Kolodko[edit]
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.
