Changing name to Francis G Natesa Iyer[edit]

It appears that an editor with number 121.240.36.97 has changed the name from F.G.Natesa Iyer to Francis G Natesa Iyer? Without any reference or citation? Should this not be reverted?

What do the initials F. G. stand for? Biographies on WP usually state the subject's complete name at least once in the lead. Is Natesa one of his forenames or is it the first part of a two part surname - i.o.w. is his surname only Iyer or is it Natessa Iyer? Roger (talk) 12:23, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that "F.G." were legally initials. There is a Madras high court case of 1926, which refers to his name as just F.G.Natesa Iyer (please see http://www.indiankanoon.org/doc/221453/). In South India, naming conventions are different from rest of the world. Iyer is the name of his community. Natesa was his forename. Since he was a well known leader of the Indian National Congress - a part of the All India Congress Committee deliberations, during the freedom era , especially the crucial 1916 Lucknow session ; the first elected Mayor of Tiruchirappalli- and a senior officer of the then London Stock exchange listed South Indian Railway Company - there would be a lot more legal documents attesting his legal name as F.G.Natesa Iyer?

Images of F. G. Natesa Iyer[edit]

F.G. Natesa Iyer was a famous freedom fighter, Indian National Congress leader, of South India: who pioneered Shakespeare and Tamil theatre - in the years from the beginning of the twentieth century for around fifty years. He has been featured on the covers of famous Indian periodicals around classical music and dance - like Sruti - issue 330 (please see http://sruti.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=316). The Indian Central Government sponsored journal Sangeet natak, also featured him on the cover, with some photographs in the main article(issue Volume XLII, Number 4, 2008).(please see http://sangeetnatak.gov.in/journal/2008%20Vol%20XLII%20No4.pdf). There are some images of him, floating around from the years of the first world war. Some belong to his family, who have released the images a few decades ago, for public use? Others could be from the theater group he formed Rasika Ranjana Sabha - and could be around hundred years old.

I had uploaded four images of F. G. Natesa Iyer - two of which were used in the article. These have all been deleted, due to copyright reasons.

Would request assistance, in copyright issues, for restoring these and other images - which are already in the public domain in India - for the wikipedia article.
