Talk:Lewis E. Lawes

Name of article
Per Wikipedia naming conventions, we don't make article titles the full legal name of the individual in question but the name by which they are most famous. I believe this would be Lewis E. Lawes, based upon the references I've seen and the books by him I own. This article should be moved there. I tried, but for some reason it would not let me.
