Jim Naismith → James H. Naismith – Maybe we should move this page to use the common name used by this scientist. I suggest either James H. Naismith or James Naismith (chemist) as titles. See references 1, 2, 17, 18, 19, 20 - where he is referred to as "James" and not "Jim" Aloneinthewild (talk) 22:57, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
