Talk:J. P. Mallory

Name

If the pen name is actually JP Mallory with no periods, why isn't the article at that title? Isomorphic 16:19, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

I don't think it's a "pen name"--there's no attempt to hide his identity. It's just the name he published under. Everyone who publishes anything has to make that choice. As for the periods, it seems like standard style among many UK publishers not to put periods after initials and in many cases abbreviations like Mr. and Dr. I doubt there's any deep stylistic reason behind it. Rather than changing the page title, I would just edit out the "pen name" passage entirely. rodii 17:19, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

I think it still qualifies as a nom de plume. His American birth certificate, military records, and driver's license likely give his name as "James P. Mallory," and it was only after he moved to Ireland and began publishing as an academic that he became known as JP Mallory. A nome-de-plume doesn't neccesarily involve an attempt to hide one's identity (that's a pseudonym); it can often be an affectation or concession to pringint limitations; c.f. H. L. Mencken and C. S. Lewis. --Jpbrenna 19:28, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Fair enough. I guess I was responding to "pen name" above rather than the actual article. A pen name has the implication of pseudonymity, I think. I like the way both the Mencken and Lewis articles handle the issue better--good examples, thanks. rodii 04:28, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

ISBN number of The Oxford Introduction

This article has the ISBN number of "The Oxford Introduction to Proto-Indo-European and the Proto-Indo-European World" as 0199296682. Under Amazon the ISBN-10 is 0199296685 while the ISBN-13 is 978-0199296682. For some online catalogs the first number works while for others the second (ISBN-10) number matches. The third number works for some libraries too. I wonder what the best way to update the article would be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tweisbach (talk • contribs) 11:37, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
