– The title Edward D. Jones is ambiguous, and the title Edward D. "Ted" Jones is contrary to the WP:NICKNAME guidance to "avoid (for example) adding a nickname, or a contracted version of the original first name(s) in quotes between first and last name. For example: Bill Clinton, not William "Bill" Clinton." In this case, "Ted" is a common short name for "Edward" (just as "Bill" is commonly short for "William"), so having the nickname in quotes seems like the sort of title we try to avoid. Distinguishing them by "Sr." and "Jr." would also help clarify their precise relationship to each other. Alternatively, these could be disambiguated by birth year, or the junior Jones could be moved to Ted Jones (businessman) or Ted Jones (investment banker). Note that Edward D. Jones is also ambiguous with Edward Davis Jones – the Jones in Dow Jones. --Relisted. Dekimasuよ! 22:26, 18 December 2014 (UTC)BarrelProof (talk) 21:13, 10 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
