full name d h lawrence's full name was david herbert lawrence and not david herbert richards lawrence it is not acceptable for wikipedia authors to simply cite sources not all sources provide reliable information however reasonable they may at first sight seem as is the case here for anyone who wants to check this then they can go to the freebmd website and search for david h lawrence born in the reader will see that the birth of lawrence david herbert was registered in basford registration district in the december quarter of and the page showing the birth registration can be downloaded there are no other names perhaps i am not an expert on this author by any means he added the name richards at some point but it was certainly not a part of his official name and indeed the author's marriage in is also registered as david herbert lawrence this can also be verified on the same website surely this ought to be obvious anyway if the author's full name was david herbert richards lawrence then he would have been known as dhr lawrence new topics go at the end of talk pages not the beginning and the freebmd website is reliable why
