Rename Andrew M. Gleason

I'm inclined to rename the article Andrew M. Gleason -- this is the style he used in his publications and just about all formal circumstances. Thoughts? EEng (talk) 04:15, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

I don't have a strong opinion on this, but using the name he most commonly used on publications seems like a good idea. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:33, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Lead image size

I figured I'd bring the discussion about the lead image size out of the edit summaries and onto the talk page.

The image use policy provides that, "The lead image (appearing at the top of the page) should usually be no wider than upright=1.35 (which is the default equivalent of 300px at preference selection of '220px')." EEng, I'm wondering why you believe this to be an exceptional circumstance. The image is horizontal, but it still seems to be a pretty typical half length portrait. Although you argue that it "looks better", I don't know that I agree when the lead text is squished into less than two thirds of its usual width (estimate). And that certainly doesn't address the non-compliance with the image use policy. Cheers, Graham (talk) 05:15, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

You're right -- I forgot about 1.35 being the normal limit for lead images. I've changed it to 1.35. E Eng 06:14, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
