Page title[edit]

Hi, I am not sure how to name the page. There are two ways to go on about it: Kevin Rolland-Thompson Is the verified name on google scholar. Most people searching for this person will be familiar with him due to his scientific research Kevin P. Thompson Is the name that was used on the award named after him. This is also the name he used on his blog. Thanks for the input Vasilis Theofylaktopoulos (talk) 08:30, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

External link to subject's personal blog[edit]

Is there any objection to including a link to the subject's personal blog? I added it since it includes some great information about the industry of optics, space telescopes and nanofabrication.blog . Reading the wikipedia help on external links and references I found this which might apply "Wikipedia articles about any organization, person, website, or other entity should link to the subject's official site, if any." Finally, I think including it is important since the blog is only found at the internet archive and it is a pity if fewer people have access to the resource because it is not listed on google search.Vasilis Theofylaktopoulos (talk) 18:10, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
