User:Necrothesp made this revision. However, their claim is erroneous. The sources given in the article itself ALL use his full name and those I found OUTSIDE said list also used his full name. Would the user please justify their revision? Thanks, James (TC) • 7:46 PM 09:46, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Every primary source there is a formal source, which naturally uses his full name. Do you really think he was referred to in everyday life as John Frederick Ernest Green? Of course he wasn't. His obituary in The Times calls him Sir John Green. I've also found at least a dozen more references to him in The Times as Sir John Green. This suggests he was indeed known as Sir John Green! -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:51, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
