Talk:A. M. W. Stirling

Latest comment: 2 years ago by Grizma in topic Requested move 8 June 2021

Article name edit

The article name should be rather Wilhelmina Stirling and the redirect be made from her writer's alias A. M. W. Stirling. The De Morgan Center which is responsible for her collection and heritage uses the name Wilhelmina. Apart from having published under the name A. M. W. as an author (but not solely under this name!) she is also an individual with a life, which is part of this article. Therefore she should be referred to as a person, not an akronym. --Grizma (talk) 07:50, 8 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
