[edit] Naming conventions

Even though the policy on this could be expressed more clearly, I think it's quite obvious what is meant: when the "first and middle names written in full is used nearly as often as the version with abbreviated names [my italics]", the abbreviated form is "discouraged". In this case, however, where the full name is hardly ever used in academic or publishing contexts, common sense dictates that it would be simply absurd, and rather confusing to use the full name as the page title.
