[edit] Article name

Why did we change it from John Campbell (California politician) to John B. T. Campbell III? No one calls him by the latter name. The guidelines for naming prefer using a qualifier to using an unusual name. See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people):

  • Adding middle names, or their abbreviations, merely for disambiguation purposes (that is: if this format of the name is not the commonly used one to refer to this person): not advised.

Was there a problem with the previous article name? -Will Beback · † · 06:33, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
