Page name

His name was "Philip Bayard Crosby", not "Phil Crosby". This information is quoted from the Winter Park Libraryhttp://www.wppl.org/). The library was given a grant from The Peggy and Philip B. Crosby Foundation, "for the purpose of making available on-line Philip B. Crosby's articles, essays and writings." see this URL: http://www.wppl.org/wphistory/PhilipCrosby/index.html.

I do not know how to approach existing editors (or wikipedia administrators) with the suggestion to change the page name, or to create a new one, redirect to it from this one, and move the content to the new page. I will appreciate any direction telling me how to do this.

Okay, so I needed help learning how to write, in 2007. I've added the citation to the first sentence in the article. Shortening his name as it is, by using "Phil", is disrespectful to the deceased. I do plan to change the article name -- given I wrote the above text about a year and a half ago and the use of "Phil" has not been justified and his full name has been identified and cited.

You may find WP:MOVE helpful. The page Philip Crosby is a disambiguation page so a new page would have to be something like Philip B. Crosby (currently a redirect but it is the name he published his books under). The old page name would be left as a redirect. If there are no objections I could swap these over fairly readily.—Teahot (talk) 10:32, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As this seemed pretty uncontroversial, I have gone ahead and swapped them over. Please discuss the move here if you think this was a bad idea.—Teahot (talk) 10:41, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Photo

Someone can upload a Crosby's photography and paste it here? It could be useful. --200.11.59.30 (talk) 21:20, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strikeouts show where I've added titles to the Bibliography. Managed to track them all down; worldcatlibraries.org was very useful. -- Ashley VH 13:27, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I came here, as many probably have, to find where and how to get the quality education system started where I am for saving corporations money and having happier people. Could someone do me a favor and provide some options for the way to interface with the legacy of Crosby's quality system here?
