Untitled[edit]

Is 'S' his entire middle name, or just a middle initial? A period should be added if the latter were the case. Kent Wang 08:32, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

'S' is probably not his entire middle name, but I don't know what it is. Apologies if I violated the Wikipedia naming conventions.Average Earthman 10:14, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Not a "chess theorist"[edit]

I don't think there is any basis for describing Lionel Penrose as a "chess theorist". Unless a suitable source is found, this should come out of the intro. Macdonald-ross (talk) 17:27, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Mental retardation"[edit]

In the career section the term "mental retardation" is used and I don't think I need to tell y'all why it's unfit for Wikipedia. I would change it, but I'm not quite sure what to change it to. It seems that by "mental retardation" not just intellectual disability is meant, but other neurological disabilities as well, due to the characterisation of BPD as "mild mental retardation". Would "mental disability" work to replace this? "Neurological disability"? I don't think the term "mental deficiency" should be used either, though.
