Talk:Hilda Gregg

Name change
Wikis naming policy for articles is to use the name that they were known as. So the ODNB artice "Dodgson, Charles Lutwidge [Lewis Carroll]" is known as "Lewis Carroll" on wiki. I believe her public name was Sydney. Victuallers (talk) 08:32, 29 June 2020 (UTC)


 * I'm honestly not that bothered either way and fine with changing it if the consensus supports, but reading WP:PSEUDONYM leaves me undecided. It says the "name most frequently used in independent reliable sources" should be used and of the sources currently used on the article, ODNB goes with "Gregg, Hilda Caroline [pseud. Sydney C. Grier]", The Cambridge Guide to Women's Writing in English uses Grier, Syndey (sic) C. [Hilda Caroline Gregg]. Herbert, Goldsworthy and Mazumdar use Gregg. Kirwan uses Grier, but also says "Sydney Carlyon Grier who wrote under the pseudonym Hilda Gregg" which is the wrong way round.
 * Maybe if we can find how she published her non-fiction in Blackwood's Magazine that might help decide things? As in did she publish non-fiction under Gregg or Grier, since that might demonstrate how she was known when not writing novels. The extra sources I'm checking seem to suggest she published "The Indian Mutiny in Fiction" as Gregg (for example Imperialism as Diaspora: Race, Sexuality, and History in Anglo-India and Detective Fiction and the Rise of Forensic Science on google books) but it would great to find an actual definitive list of her works.
