Let's throw a reference into the detail where he was prompted to include more contemporary associations into his teaching practice. There should be some reference to that, otherwise we should keep but focus on providing this, as how would we know(?). I feel it seems common, so perhaps even a reference to the pressures of folks to conform to contemporary expectations would educate the audience. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.224.184.85 (talk) 04:01, 30 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Last name

edit

From what I see online and in books, his last name is almost always listed as "de Lemos" but he sometimes used "Lemos" as well. The article currently reads, "Prior to about 1930 he used the simpler name Pedro Lemos or Pedro J. Lemos; between 1931 and 1933 he changed the family name to de Lemos, believing that he was related to the Count de Lemos, patron of Cervantes." but there is no source/citation for this. For the sake of simplicity, I suggest we use the last name "de Lemos" here since it's the title of the article right now too. Anyone else have thoughts? Jooojay (talk) 21:51, 22 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

The source at the end of the lede paragraph does include mention of his insertion of "de" into his surname around 1933. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 17:00, 20 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
