Talk:Paul St. Pierre

Note on Fr/En name versions

I used the unhyphenated "Saint Pierre" spelling instead of the usual French "Saint-Pierre" or its abbreviation (Hm I'll check that over various editions, just out of curiosity). St. Pierre always appeared in his column anbd his book titles in the English way, as at the start of this sentence; I didn't use that for the main article title because I assumed there's a naming convention {or not?). It might look better that way, but wouldn't somebody more likely type out "saint", or would they use an abbreviation? So I made redirects; if somebody thinks it should be titled there's a lot of linked pages that need re-hyphenating first (or right after) so it's a bit time-intensive to do that; also with the French-name versions. I think Saint Pierre also may be of anglo-Norman or other Franco-English stock, i.e. it's an English name rather than one from France or Quebec; just a possibility given his choice of unhyphenation - or given the era, if it was political, i.e. not appearing too French in BC (?).Skookum1 08:49, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

I received this reply tonight from a long ago private query to Mr. St. Pierre:

answer to your question. I spell it St.Pierre because that is how my father spelled it, as have many St.Pierres since the first one emigrated from France in 1650 an left half a million of us in north america today. pstp

It appears I was in error in spelling out "Saint"; if someone could see to this soon, thanks. Skookum1, speaking from the wiki-grave.142.68.82.172 (talk) 03:25, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

70.90.107.65's vandalism

This guy's getting annoying. Either it's someone's kid fooling around, or somebody with not much of a life. Anyone recognize the IP prefixes so maybe it can be reported to whichever ISP's abuse dept it's from?Skookum1 17:38, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
