Confused[edit]

I'm confused by your comment here. It is mentioned. You did read the article, right? Guettarda (talk) 02:04, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The point is that one side is avoiding the use of the middle name for the same reasons the other side wants to include it. Both sides realize that it has a negative connotation are are clubing each other with it.

Wouldn't it be best to make both unhappy by including the "offending" name?

Hey, my middle name is Gustava. It is just a name for gods sake. ````

His full name is used in the first line of the article. Beyond that, the most common style is used. Wikipedia is a project to write a mainstream encyclopaedia - doing something to intentionally annoy anyone would be contrary to its mission. Guettarda (talk) 04:40, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
