 * Support - The company name has the "R." and the "J." next to each other or "RJ" posted. TinMan 19:33, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Support, I don't know why so many articles are like this(I had to move A. J. Styles to A.J. Styles). TJ Spyke 05:16, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Discussion
His company's official name is either R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company" or "RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company". Seperating the R from the J in this case is incorrect. RJ Reynolds Auditorium is also spelled this way, as is RJ Reynolds High School in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Sources:   4 (RJR Official site) --TinMan 19:43, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Status
Requested move approved.

cleanup
This article needs to be cleaned up. The sections don't make sense, and the information is not presented to typical WP biographical quality, nor has it had intenral links adequately added. We can do better. I am working on other WP projects, so hopefully, someone else will get to it first. Vaoverland 05:06, 24 May 2007 (UTC) I made a small attempt at cleanup of some extraneous material.LorenzoB 07:47, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Death Date
The intro has it as 1909, the body as 1918. Somebody who has access to a good bio, please correct this. Mark Shaw (talk) 01:09, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Redirect from R.J. Reynolds Jr.
Why does this article redirect from R.J. Reynolds Jr.? Unless I am missing something, RJ Reynolds' father was named Hardin -- therefore, he is not a "junior." RJ's son, however, was named Richard Joshua Reynolds (died in 1964). Am I missing something? C DesBarres (talk) 01:09, 28 February 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.17.120.226 (talk)
