Is he best known as E.W. Ives? Should the page be moved to that? TysK 04:11, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Not sure if that is how he is best known. I personally often prefer in the case of an academic author whose works are signed with initials is to use christian names in article titles. However, this article's title uses only one of his christian names, which seems a bit odd. I think the main issue is how easily do people find the page. If you search on Ives you get a useful disambiguation page. My suggestion, if you think something should be done, would be a new redirect page at E.W.Ives pointing to the present page.-- Op.

That's probably the best solution. The page could use some general copyediting and wikifying, too... I'll see what I can do. TysK 19:08, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
