An interested editor could add to Brown landscapes that have Wikipedia articles by looking through "What links here." --Wetman 23:26, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

I stumbled across a headstone for Brown at Fenstanton (I had no idea he was there, so reading the article has been rather interesting). If thought useful, i'd like to add my photo to his Wikipedia page. Take a look at my photo. Subfonic 08:43, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Popular Culture

Perhaps some reference to Capability in popular culture, notably Terry Pratchet's nod to him in the form of "Bloody Stupid" Johnson? 87.194.7.55 14:48, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lancelot Brown Vs Capability Brown

This page should be under Lancelot Brown, not Capability Brown. His name was Lancelot, Capability was only his nickname. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daniel Newman (talkcontribs) 12:20, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

No. Wikipedia policy is to use the name by which the subject is most commonly known. This is done so that the article will be easy to find by people who are otherwise unfamiliar with the subject. For examples, see Babe Ruth, Peter Sellers, or Mae West (among hundreds of others). You wouldn't expect to find these people under the headings George Ruth, Richard Sellers, or Mary West, would you? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.167.241.209 (talk) 01:18, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
