Talk:Montagu Cotterill

Knighted?

I can't find any evidence he was ever knighted. Why are we calling him Sir Joseph? -- Jack of Oz ^[Talk] 02:31, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Joseph Cotterill (cricketer) → Montagu Cotterill – There is another Joseph Cotterill and hence this article needs to be disambiguated, the original author obviously is a cricket lover and decided to dab the article by appending (cricketer). The problem is I think this subject's most important contribution to the world was his medical career. He was knighted for this rather than his fairly ordinary cricketing pastime I believe. So the (cricketer) behind his name is a bit misleading; In his medical career he seemed to be known as Monatgu Cotterill Obit in BMJ Manual of Surgery Volume 2. The National Portrait Gallery has Joseph in brackets, indicating he was better known as Montagu. Wayne Jayes (talk) 11:58, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

I meant to mention that Montagu Cotterill meets the requirements of WP:COMMONNAME better than Joseph Cotterill (cricketer). Wayne Jayes (talk) 12:48, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Requested page move

When the request was made in 2016 to move the page , there was relatively little content about his surgical career. Much of that has now been added. He was a career surgeon, who achieved distinction in that career, and played first class cricket for a relatively short period of his life. The title should reflect that eg Montagu Cotterill (surgeon) or Montagu Cotterill (surgeon and cricketer). Papamac (talk) 10:16, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

Cricket statistics highlighted in table

I have moved his cricket statistics from person infobox and highlighted these in a table below the cricket text, which seems a more appropriate location. Also added another succession box for President of The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. Papamac (talk) 08:55, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
