Why "G Greene"?[edit]
I happened on this article more or less by chance, and I've only read a few of Greene's novels (and many years ago, at that), so I may be missing something. A normal way of referring to an author in such an article would be simply by surname. If there were other Greenes identified by name, they would be identified by first and last names—but there aren't. Is there some reason not to change all the "G Greene" occurences to simply "Greene"?
I apologize if this is something like a UK/US linguistic difference; I've read quite a lot of British writing without coming on this kind of thing. (I'm asking instead of just editing because this stylistic device seems so strange that I have to wonder whether there is a reason I'm missing.) Davecat4 (talk) 00:46, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
