Conlisk - sources conflict on middle initial[edit]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Nolan#cite_note-jet1-5 says he was James H. Conlisk Jr.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_heads_of_the_Chicago_Police_Department#cite_note-chicagocop-1 says he was James B. Conlisk Jr.

The former is a newspaper and the latter looks like WP:UGC, so I think we should probably go with the former until more sources are found. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 05:06, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@SMcCandlish How about we don't use an initial at all? SecretName101 (talk) 00:43, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that could work. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 02:34, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
