John Larkins Cheese Richardson → John Richardson (New Zealand politician) – He certainly wasn't known by all his middle names. What he was really known as was Major Richardson, but I've never seen a bio that has a person's title in it. Hence this formal move request; your input would be appreciated.

Support Agreed, as it stands it is not within standard practice. As an aside, it would be helpful to find something of his earlier life as well. He certainly wasn't born in the Army and known as Major Richardson, which is how the opening sentence could be read.L-Bit (talk) 08:15, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've converted his DNZB bio ref to an inline citation. Feel free to expand the article. And don't forget to sign your talk page posts. Schwede 66 01:30, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
