CZ naming conventions
Hi, John, glad to see you being as industrious as 7 or 8 bees!
We do argue about this from time to time, but there is a general consensus (also spelled out somewhere in the guidelines) that for a name like this it is written, particularly in the article's title Initial dot no-space second initial dot space Last Name. Take a look, for instance, at P.G. Wodehouse, a fine Brit! (There are other examples, but I'll have to track them down if you want me to.) Hayford Peirce 03:39, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Hayford. I've no problem with the convention and I'll use it in future. All part of the learning curve. :-) --John Leach 03:44, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

- It is not spelled out in the CZ guidelines and there is no CZ style guide. Oxford Style Guide specifically states there should be a space between initials, Chicago Manual of Style states there should be equal space between both the initials and surname. Meg Ireland 23:42, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
