[edit] Article name
I'm boldly moving this back to "S. Yizhar" for the following reasons, and revising the lead sentence. Please move the article back to "Yizhar Smilansky" if I'm wrong.
Wikipedia policy is to use the more common name, to get better placement in search engines. Thus we have Mark Twain and Lewis Carroll, not Samuel Langhorne Clemens and Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (those are redirects).
Users of "Yizhar Smilansky" include the Knesset directory, Ynet Encyclopedia, and a few U.S. academics after 1999. Users of "S. Yizhar" include Yizhar's books, Yizhar's op-ed pieces, Hebrew-language Wikipedia (actually ס. יזהר), Gershon Shaked (in Modern Hebrew Fiction), Jerusalem Post, Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs, U.S. Library of Congress, the Jewish Agency's Department for Jewish Zionist Education, and Joseph Galron-Goldschläger's Modern Hebrew Literature - a Bio-Bibliographical Lexicon.
