Proper name

[edit]

Looking at the revision history, there is confusion as to Tucker's proper name. Basketball Reference (http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/t/tuckeal01.html) shows it as "Albert Ames Tucker". Find-A-Grave (http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=22190301) lists him as "Al Tucker, Jr", but immediately below that identifies his "original name" as "Albert Ames Tucker". His tombstone (picture at the Find-A-Grave link) shows "Albert A Tucker, Jr"). Find-A-Grave also lists his father as "Albert Amos Tucker, Sr". I don't know how this should be properly documented on his Wikipedia page. I would suggest identifying him as "Albert Amos Tucker, Jr", with a notation that his middle name is sometimes seen as "Ames". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jb45424 (talkcontribs) 12:05, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
