Surname

During your editint to Merry widow of Windy Nook, you changed all references to our killer to "Wilson", the last name of her lattest husband. Wouldn't that cause some confusion? She had four last name in a two-year period due to her multiple marriages.

By the way, is there any reason this article is under a nickname? Most article on killers seem to use their real names or a prominent alias. Should this one be renamed? Dimadick (talk) 12:29, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your contributions to this article! Regarding the surname, it is normal practice to use the subject's surname on all subsequent mentions. I see your point about her changing her surnames so frequently, but she is called Mary Elizabeth Wilson in the lead section, so I think it should be clear? About the name, the guidelines say that it should be at the title that she is best well known. In this case I'm not too sure what that is. I chose "Merry Widow ..." because it appealed to me and might draw some much-needed attention to the article :) I also left a link on the disambiguation page Mary Wilson. I would not mind too much if you moved it to Mary Elizabeth Wilson though. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:44, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
