Article name

This article should probably be called Truby King, as that is the name he is best known by. It certainly should not be called Sir Frederic Truby King; Wikipedia does not include "Sir" in the titles of biographies. See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people). Frederic Truby King would be acceptable if the shorter name is not considered suitable for any reason. Redirects should be created from the other names.-gadfium 09:28, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Changing the title

Will do - as soon as I find out how to do it. Still a newbie Steerpikenz 09:38, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved it. Your account may be too new to have access to the "Move" button.-gadfium 09:51, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Aphorisms

Can we supply a date for:‘It is better to put a fence at the top of a cliff than to station an ambulance at the bottom’? And was the poem "The Ambulance Down in the Valley" by Joseph Malins (1895) prior or inspired by it? According to "In a Strange Garden: The Life and Times of Truby King" it [was] "a common saying that was adopted by Truby King as motto for his weekly 'Hygeia' newspaper column".Koroke (talk) 04:27, 24 March 2013 (UTC)Koroke (talk) 03:17, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed new content - Truby King child rearing methods

I propose adding some new content - with references including from F. Truby King, Feeding and Care of Baby, Auckland, Whitcombe & Tombs, 1918. The focus will be on King's prescribed methods of rearing babies. I'll include some critical comment regarding the Truby King method - again duly referenced to authoritative sources.

I'll work on text and will test that out here in the talk pages - so will welcome comment. 203.166.225.56 (talk) 06:07, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
