Template:AuthorFields:LegalName
Revision as of 14:51, 8 March 2007 by Marc Kupper (talk | contribs) (Add note about reason for Lastname, Firstname)
- Legal Name - This field should contain the most recent legal name for the author. For example, James Tiptree, Jr. was a pseudonym of Alice Sheldon, who was born Alice Bradley. Alice Sheldon is the most recent legal name for this author. The format of the legal name should be "Lastname, Firstname Middlenames", with all names being given in full. The reason for this format are names like “Patrick Nielsen Hayden” where you can't readily tell whether the last name is “Hayden” or “Nielsen Hayden.” No suffixes or prefixes should be used; "Jr.", "Capt." and so on are not recorded in this field.
