We usually use the name at baptism and exactly how that name was written at the baptism as the persons firstname. How his firstname (and other names) was written later in life, usually goes into the "Also Known As" field here on Geni. There are 4 primary sources attached to him and all of them writes his name as Erich.
Susanna said "Please start a discussion here before editing, there are many managers that perhaps wants a say."
She mentioned Erich - Erik just as an example. Not as the only edit that should be discussed.
(Soon after, Erik was added to AKA field, likely in response)
Since her post, there have been a change to his Birth Surname, plus lots of changes to his About from two people - no discussion about any of those changes.
I cannot tell if any of changes to About is conflicting views about facts and/or what should be mentioned or just fixing typos, polishing phrasing, neatening it up, or ??
Private User I had an answer from one of the managers that she refuses to have a public discussion. My effort to smoothe things is not very effective :) Thanks for your input.
(Hopefully noone deletes anything from "about me".)
