→Naming conventions for persons?
Generally I feel like we should go with full names whenever possible, a la [[Francis Celestino Brent]]... but then what format do we fall back to if we do not know the middle name? For instance, at the moment I do not know C. H. Turner's middle name. So should it be [[C. H. Turner]], [[Charles H. Turner]], [[Charles Turner]]? Anyone have any input?

:In the case you mention, the [http://www.rootsweb.com/~flescamb/directv.htm 1894 city directory] calls him [[Charles H. Turner]], which is what I think I would use. --[[User:Admin|Admin]] 11:09, 6 December 2007 (CST)
