Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments Back in 2009 - discussion was held in this thread on how to deal with Walt Disney and the numerous versions of his name.

It looks like the author page has been renamed Walt Disney rather than the agreed Walt Disney Company.

Before I change it back - I just wanted to make sure the agreement from 2009 stands.

I'll work on the other variations of the name in the mean while

I am unaware of any reason why it would not.

Carolyn (seeford) | 573 comments Ah, crumb - looks like the entire profile was deleted. = (
There was a nice lengthy bio of Walt Disney, with additional info on the Company - now gone.

rivka - once they are gone, they can't be brought back, can they, possibly? (crossing fingers, pleasepleaseplease) ETA: Please disregard, I've created a new bio combining Walt and WDC info together and added a note to it about the combination.

Looks good. I'm guessing it was changed to 'Walt Disney' because of the quotes. It does look strange for the quotes to be by 'Walt Disney Company'.

Carolyn (seeford) | 573 comments That's possible - but we're doing the best we can with what we've got...technically almost none of it is to a specific accredited author, anyways...
