    Before we change anyone, we need to settle on the period. It seems
    to me that the period is standard after an initial on
    publications, citations, etc. I couldn't find the exact
    MLA/APA/etc standard for author names, but is there a particular
    reason you don't want a period?

    Sorry, I didn't realize you have to be a bureaucrat not a sysop.
    If you want to be renamed, add yourself to
