Talk:John R. Crawford

Known as Johny
During his lifetime, at least in the world of bridge, Mr. Crawford was always called "Johny," not "John" or "John R." I think that might be something you would want to put in an article about him. 65.79.173.135 (talk) 14:37, 7 August 2008 (UTC)Will in New Haven65.79.173.135 (talk) 14:37, 7 August 2008 (UTC)


 * He was known as "John R.", well enough for publishers to identify him thus as the author of popular books on games, including one on bridge. (Contrast Babe Ruth or Mickey Cochrane.)
 * 'Johnny Crawford' (evidently mis-spelled) is a plausible search, so I added a hatnote at Johnny Crawford.

 * Nominally we provide a citation for the lead boldface John Randolph (Johny) Crawford but it dates from before User:Newwhist inserted "(Johny)" and the article is available only by subscription or log-in at TIME.
 * I didn't try to login and tagged our reference subscription which is not quite right. --P64 (talk) 21:40, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Identity
John R. Crawford is not yet identified by the Library of Congress (LC Authorities; no LCCN). So he has no auto-generated URL for a homepage at WorldCat (as most English-language writers have linked to the footers of their biographies here).

Some authorities in the bundle mix works by more than one John R. Crawford, most often a neuropsych specialist John R. Crawford, 1957– (I infer from LCCat), works: 1992, 1998

Today I compiled the booklist by direct search --LCCat browse Crawford, John R.. Evidently, the 6 records linked to 'Crawford, John R.' without '1957-' are in fact all works created by our John R. Crawford. --P64 (talk) 19:28, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
