Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; current rendered profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.
All inherited Edward Van Winkle candidates were stale. Controlled archival reference search recovered the current /edward-edwin-van-winkle profile, whose exact heading is “Edward (edwin) van Winkle.” The canonical legacy identity is retained while the source heading, parenthetical Edwin rendering, capitalization, current URL, citation, provenance, and checksums remain parallel evidence.
