A fact from George Lyttleton Rogers appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 30 November 2012 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that 13-time Irish tennis champion and world pro doubles champion George Lyttleton-Rogers was also an amateur boxer and cancelled a sparring bout with Don McCorkindale so as to retain his amateur status?

Name

Great article! I noticed that two spelling variants of his name exist; 'George Lyttleton-Rogers' and 'George Lyttelton-Rogers'. The first variant 'Lyttleton' seems to be more frequently used, including the official Davis Cup site, which makes it the logical choice for the article title. Both variants are used by the NYT with the newer articles however mostly opting for 'Lyttelton'. What gives me some doubt about the article title is that arguably the most reliable source, Dictionary of Irish Biographies (a collaboration between Cambridge University Press and the Royal Irish Academy) spells his name as 'Lyttelton'. --Wolbo (talk) 23:15, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I had the same concerns about the title when I first chose the current one and when I found the dictionary I was reconsidering it again. The reason I settled with this one is that we only have an excerpt from the said dictionary which is edited by only two person (although academics but not sports experts). I would be curious to know how much info does the full entry contains (family tree, ancestors), or to see the bibliography used (if any) and that the basic personal details are based on actual birth records acquired by the University or just simple newspaper sources that we regularly use too. I wouldn't trust it by default unless a full copy is presented as there is also a slight chance that the common unintended mistyping occurred in this online version like in those archived journals. Until then I prefer to stick to the Wikipedia guideline and go by the name that is more widely known. Lajbi ^{Holla @ me • CP} 23:45, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I will try to search for an autograph of his to clear this out. Lajbi ^{Holla @ me • CP} 23:50, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not exactly related to this topic, and I'm not complaining, but I was just wondering what it takes for an article to be graded "B" under tennis terms? Most of my recent expansions, which weren't as throughout as this received the "B" grade without any conditions. Lajbi ^{Holla @ me • CP} 10:47, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fair question. I hesitated between C and B when grading the article and went for the conservative option. Upon reflection and seeing the further improvements made since then a B grade assessment now seems appropriate.--Wolbo (talk) 14:46, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I'll take it as a Christmas "B"

^{Holla @ me • CP} 16:34, 25 December 2012 (UTC) Lost of new edits recently revolving around the same question. Please anyone who is involved in the edits take the issue here for discussion. Lajbi ^{Holla @ me • CP} 14:56, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My Gran was George E Lyttleton-Rogers hired Nana. She too was from Athy, Kildare. So good to see this account here.

George Lyttleton-Rogers was my grandfather. His Wikipedia page doesn't mention it but he remarried again to my grandmother with whom he had only one child, my mother. I actually have one of his trophies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DominguezC (talk • contribs) 18:43, 6 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
