Title
[edit]"(mathematics)" seems like the wrong disambiguation, the other Suzuki groups are also about finite simple groups in mathematics. (And the other Thompson groups are about infinite simple groups. OTOH The McLaughlin Group is a TV show, so (mathematics) is fine there.) --GodMadeTheIntegers (talk) 18:18, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
- There are three sporadic groups with names that need disambiguation. McLaughlin group (mathematics), Suzuki group (mathematics), and Thompson group (mathematics). This disambiguation seems the best consistent choice to me.--Foobarnix (talk) 21:24, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
- However, you definitely have a point. We could go back to names like Suzuki sporadic group and Thompson sporadic group, but that seems so inconsistent with the other sporadic group names. But I cannot think of any other way to disambiguate. What do you suggest?--Foobarnix (talk) 21:45, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
- Erm. I don't actually have a suggestion :*) And PS thanks for trying to bring sanity to the titles and lead sections. --GodMadeTheIntegers (talk) 22:10, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback. The more I think about it, I tend to prefer naming the three problem articles "Suzuki sporadic group", etc. I am now beginning a grand revision of all the lead sections. I have just completed it for the Mathieu groups. I would really welcome your input. Feel free to critique my revisions--Foobarnix (talk) 23:22, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

BTW see User:Foobarnix/Revision and cleanups to individual sporadic group articles. It is a another place to have further discussions. I have been setting all this up on private work pages for a week or so and am now making the first round of revisions.
