Bert Cooksley edit
This man was on formal records Bertie but was never publicly known by that name. He was Bert. As evidence please look at this link to the Archives in his one-time electorate which will show you none but the official record uses Bertie.
I see this as an uncontroversial name change and propose to move the page if there are no objections. Eddaido (talk) 02:03, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
- Have done the move, as though an Evening Post obituary of 29 July 1980 refers initially to him as "Bertie Cooksley" it quotes the then MP Ben Couch referring to him as "Bert Cooksley, a man of the people". Certainly use the name generally used if contemporary references found (he must have made the news before he died!)( Hugo999 (talk) 03:22, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
- He was in five parliaments over a prosperous period (was able to "do good") and, I think, was generally liked. When I asked the Wairarapa Archive if they knew of a Bertie Cooksley the chief archivist registered mild shock then found Bert was indeed under that formal name in their records but that's all. How is it you get to see old obituaries in the Post and Dominion? Eddaido (talk) 04:32, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
