A fact from Jack Oliver (scientist) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 20 January 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that a 1968 paper by Jack Ertle Oliver helped confirm the existence of continental drift, a theory that had been scoffed at by mainstream scientists when proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2011/January.

Perhaps this bio should be renamed "Jack Ertle Oliver"

I seem to find a lot more references using that form of the name than using "John Ertle Oliver'" and apparently he used "Jack Ertle Oliver" on the books he authored. betsythedevine (talk) 23:18, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that a name change is in order, leaving a redirect to the new page from here. --Jezebel'sPonyo ^{bons mots} 23:20, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I have never tried this before, but here goes an effort to get the name changed as per WP:REQMOVE. betsythedevine (talk) 03:31, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone ahead and moved it. As long as the move is not contentious, you can just use the 'move' tab at the top of the page. --Jezebel'sPonyo ^{bons mots} 15:17, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

John Ertle Oliver → Jack Ertle Oliver — "Jack Ertle Oliver" was the name he used to write books, and searches on "Jack Ertle Oliver" or "Jack Oliver" give many more (relevant) results than searches on "John Ertle Oliver." --betsythedevine (talk) 03:31, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
