At her current institution, she is almost always referred to without her middle initial, as she seems to have been at her previous position and in most forums, student discussions, etc.--Yaksar (let's chat) 16:53, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please read Wikipedia:COMMONNAME. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 16:55, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have. The most telling source, of course, is that at Swarthmore College in the newspaper and press releases, she is always referred to without the initial.--Yaksar (let's chat) 16:59, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For something like College presidents, GHits usually aren't the best indicator. Take someone incredibly prominent like Lee Bollinger, for example. The current title is what he's usually called, but there are more google results if you include the initial.--Yaksar (let's chat) 17:02, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't matter. What you are doing is taking a subset of her total Google hits of her name and saying these ones count as official and others do not. I have just given you an official 3RR warning. It doesn't matter what Swarthmore College calls her or even what she calls herself, it is what she is most commonly known as en toto, You are just choosing your favorite source. There is no exception in Wikipedia:COMMONNAME for college presidents, or presidents of the US. That is why we have "Bill Clinton" and not "William Jefferson Clinton". And you should know better than pointing to another error and saying that is Wikipedia policy. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 17:03, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'm using the quite obvious logic of looking at how she is almost always referred to at her current and previous institutions.--Yaksar (let's chat) 17:06, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please stick to Wikipedia:COMMONNAME and not your own internal logic. There is no exception in Wikipedia:COMMONNAME for college presidents. Nor is the rule titled Wikipedia:CURRENT AND PREVIOUS INSTITUTION COMMONNAME FOR COLLEGE PRESIDENTS. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 17:10, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Plus, look at the quality of the google results for those respective searches. With the initial the first 5 are a Colgate press release from 2002, Wikipedia, the NnDB, www.collegenews.org, and her resume. Without the initial, you get her profile in Swarthmore's news, her Swarthmore page, and articles about her from Swarthmore and Yale publications.--Yaksar (let's chat) 17:16, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
And since you're now trying to get Lee Bollinger moved, why not take a look at the actual number of searches made for each term.--Yaksar (let's chat) 17:29, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And here's the comparison for Chopp.--Yaksar (let's chat) 18:57, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New Chancellor being inaugurated today, brings back memories of Maurice Mitchell, he and I both came to DU in 1967, him at the top and me at the bottom as a transfer student. JohnSWren (talk) 13:39, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
