Talk:Tags:Bush Family

Barbara Bush

George W's mother, and one of his daughters. How should they be disambiguated?

George H. W. Bush

There is confusion about the Bush pere's proper tag. The Tag:cleanup_jobs page, in the "bush tags" section, has a space between the two initials; that is proper from a grammatical point of view, and it's also more common (80 to 46) than the George H.W. Bush listed in the Bush Family section. I also corrected a listing of George H.W.Bush to George H. W. Bush on the Tag:editor_portal page in the "Names - People and Organizations" section. I think we should change the Bush Family page to reflect this, but as this is my first night in the Wiki, I don't want to upset common practice.

Regardless, this will need standardization so all three sections of the Wiki are consistent with each other, and Bush 41 has a single tag. (~sardonyx, 12/12/06)

Done, but there's nothing wrong with doing it yourself. How about adding something on the main tag editing page to the effect that double initials require a space... -- Centerfielder 13:11, 12 December 2006 (PST)

Thanks. I'm learning my way around wikis, and trying not to do damage as I do so. I think I added a mention of this on one of the pages (maybe Tag:editor_portal?), phrasing the rule as having always to put a period and space after an initial: this covers, single, double, and even triple-and-above initials. I'll go back in a bit to make sure it's in a more general place. I also changed the H. W. in the list of baddies to H.W. -- Sardonyx 01:26, 13 December 2006 (EST)
