Tim? Bruxner

Why do you consistently edit to a 'Tim' Bruxner on: Leader of the New South Wales National Party. There is no evidence of any NSW politician by that name. James Bruxner is correct. He served the NSW Parliament for 19 years and was Deputy Leader from 1975-1981: http://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/prod/parlment/members.nsf/1fb6ebed995667c2ca256ea100825164/9281a10237f1f6d5ca256e2100035768?OpenDocument. Please stop making these pointless and silly edits. Regards Siegfried Nugent (talk) 06:07, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As I said to you on your talk page, Wikipedia uses common names - the names people actually went by, and Bruxner was known throughout his life as Tim. Do your research, then rant. Rebecca (talk)
  • May I suggest (and I have made this edit) that the page says "James ("Tim") Bruxner"? You appear to both be right; his name was verifably James Bruxner, and that being his birth name it's the name he will have formally held his offices under. However it's also correct that he's most commonly known as "Tim". The format "James ("Tim") Bruxner" appears to have sufficient clarity for everyone involved, and the longer argument can wait until someone has the time to start a dedicated article on him. - DustFormsWords (talk) 05:36, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
