Henry Lee edit

Why the see also to a different name? //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 02:35, 18 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Addendum - perhaps relics from a botched move in 2005. Do we keep it? //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 02:37, 18 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
Also Lee Kuan Yew?? Seems a bit of a stretch. CarbonX (talk) 07:45, 18 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

The see also is to Henry Lee - Harry is a common nickname for those called Henry, so some known also as Harry will be on the Henry page. Lee Kuan Yew's article states that like many Chinese people, he also used an English name, in his case Harry, and Lee is his surname. Boleyn (talk) 08:18, 18 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Harry is short for Harold. Henry is a name in its own right. //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 16:28, 18 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

No, that isn't correct. See Harry (name) and Henry (given name), Boleyn (talk) 18:12, 18 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Actually, it is correct. Read the article to which you linked -- in the best case we're both right, in the worst Harry (name) still says my statement is correct.  :) In either case, let's move more towards is the See Also appropriate? //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 22:58, 18 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

I read both links, it was clear. I'm British, perhaps where you're from, this isn't a normal version of Henry, but here it is, as stated in both articles. The most famous Henry known as Harry is Prince Henry of Wales, usually referred to as Prince Harry. He is just one example of many. The see also is appropriate.
