Pedantic detail perhaps but his book is called "The Sea Fishes of Southern Africa" not "The Sea Fishes of South Africa". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.26.96.157 (talk) 00:18, 28 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

J.L.B. Smith → James Leonard Brierley Smith – Article should be titled with full name in preference to initials Divingpetrel (talk) 19:40, 24 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Oppose per WP:COMMONAME and WP:INITS. Generally, Wikipedia article titles use the most common format of the name that is used most in reliable sources, even if it is an abbreviation or initials. Zzyzx11 (talk) 06:07, 25 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
