So, Robin, did you add the new page for my parents, Bruce Whealton (1940- and Kathleen Murphy (1940- using the non-form based editing on the page? the regular wiki editing? Maybe that's how I need to do it because then I can specify that I want my father's page to be that name.
By the way, for woman, do you use the Maiden Name Kathleen Murphy for a page or Kathleen Murphy Whealton with the dates appended of course? And if they are still living do we uses the closing )... Yes, I believe you did make that change to the page to include the closing ).

The general standard in genealogy is to use a person's "birth name" as their name, and put any later name variations in the narrative, so yes, it should be "Kathleen Murphy". Thurstan 23:12, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
