“ Full names The use of initials in an author name is sometimes opposed on Wikisource. Using the full name of authors is the internationally-recognised standard for libraries. Libraries need to catalogue a large number of authors in order to catalogue their works. If initials are used it can cause authors to be catalogued incorrectly (in Wikisource's case, they may be listed out of order on category pages and Wikisource:Authors) . ”

“ The correct name to use for an author's page in the Author namespace can be less than straight forward in some cases where an author is known by different names, whether by the use of a pseudonym or by variants on their real name. There is no fixed policy on which name to use. At present, the use of different conventions and practices means that there is a lack of conformity in Wikisource's authorspace. This page summaries some of the opinions regarding the use of author names on Wikisource. ”
