It is a bit curious that Wikipedia states that Harold Hersey lived from 1893 till 1964, while the text ends with "Throughout the '30s, Hersey continued to test the market with new magazines. He was editor-in-chief on a string of novelty magazines for H-K Publications (also known as the Hardy-Kelly Group) from 1941 forward. He died in 1956, while still holding that position." It is likely that someone in the past has dug up the dates of birth and death for another person (most likely being Harold H. Hersey, 1893-1964), and that the dates cited by the 3rd edition of the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction are the accurate ones.--Dirk P Broer 11:32, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
