Really a Junior?

It's not really proper to call this John Seigenthaler a Junior since he doesn't have the same middle name as his father. Has someone found a source where he's called Junior and his father is called Senior? If not, I'd recommend renaming these, either with a middle initial or with something in parentheses. wknight94 17:21, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well his father is called Sr. in the op-ed which started the controversy [1] Nil Einne 01:10, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
John M. Seigenthaler used to use "Junior" when he anchored in Nashville to prevent confusion with his father. You are right though. He is not, technically, a junior. Nut-meg 05:57, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Bad press

Does Seigenthaler even know what he's talking about? It sounds to me like he hasn't done too much research into Wikipedia. He refers to us as "Wales' volunteers" and claims that Wikipedia allows anything to be posted. Only reason this stayed on the article as long as it did is because most people probabl don't look at this page very often. --Phoenix Hacker 08:48, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

More bad press here. The guy really did his best to harass wikipedia :( Halibutt 15:21, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
