Who's doing the updates atm?

Post by **Marc van Arc** » 25 Aug 2007, 18:09

I did an edit on lately. Today it popped up as Updated*, but the authors complete names are added. That's not what I edited and - more important - I also believe that normally only last names are used. As I've been working like that for the past few years, I'm quite sure Jools is not doing the updates. Could the one who's responsible atm pls change the authors' names?

* checked my mailbox: there's a confirmation that my addition was "vetted".

Well, I did the changes - I guess I was a bit "over enthusiastic" when it comes to the names.

Jools is the one vetting - as far as I know no other person can do that.

Marc,

Your changes were added in initially, then Mats changed them and added some distribution information. I didn't really have an opinion on surnames versus full names.

What do you think? On one hand it's good to have more info., than less, however I do also agree that the majority of names are just surnames.

To be honest I think it's better to stick to the surnames. Imo it adds very little that Armbruster's first names are Jonathan W.
In cases where people with similar names are involved, like for instance Eigenmann and (somehow I know one of these guys) Ng, an initial may be useful.
I dare not say that it's official but I hardly ever witness full names in books.
Moreover, I don't feel like doing the whole synonyms list again

I'll update it. (Seeing as I was responsible for the initial "mistake").
