Talk:List of works by E. W. Hornung

Name change
Neelix, can we get rid of this bloody awful title? Firstly it's a grammatical horror: it should at least be in the possessive form of Hornung's biblio, rather than the painful and abysmal form it currently takes. Secondly, he wasn't Ernest William Hornung, he was E.W Hornung - see the book covers on the page to see how he styled his professional name, and the name under which people know him. The original title of Bibliography of E.W. Hornung was carefully selected when the page was first formed, and I strongly oppose the current form it now uses. Thanks. - SchroCat (talk) 21:51, 15 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you for pinging me in this discussion. If Hornung is best known as E.W. Hornung, then why don't we move Ernest William Hornung to E.W. Hornung? Either way, these two article titles should be consistent. What do you find painful, abysmal, or ungrammatical about the current title? The other bibliography articles have had such titles for years.

 * It should be E.W. Hornung (and I've moved it as such). I find this title painful, abysmal and ungrammatical because it is. It should be in the possessive "E.W. Hornung's bibliography", or "Bibliography of E.W. Hornung". The current form is just wrong, wrong, wrong: as an encyclopaedia we certainly should not be promoting the error and it's a form of title that's bugged me for some time, which is why I had tried to avoid it in this instance. - SchroCat (talk) 22:10, 15 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Avoiding the pain of the previous version, I have moved to List of works by E.W. Hornung, in line with most of the other FLs. - SchroCat (talk) 22:30, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
