Talk:Francis Crick

message: Please provide a citation for the changes you just made to the Francis Crick page changing his full name from Francis Harry Compton Crick to Francis Harold Compton Crick.  I can find no such reference myself.  Indeed, everything that I have found, including the very first reference on the page which is for his name in the lede, says that his name is Francis Harry Compton Crick.  The only variation I have found is Francis H. C. Crick which is no help.  At this point, it looks to me like your changes amount to WP:OR which should be reverted on the basis of WP:NOR.  In the spirit of WP:AGF I am asking you for a citation rather than just reverting the changes out of hand. Shortsword (talk) 17:21, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
