Correct spelling of last name in DEFAULTSORT[edit]
Please stop changing the name of this person in the DEFAULSORT and the PersonData codes. As noted throughout the article, the person's name is correctly spelled "McCardell." Putting the mis-spelled version in the DEFAULTSORT and PersonData codes is incorrect. - Tim1965 (talk) 17:47, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No one is disputing or changing the correct spelling of the person's name in the article. The correct value to sort on is "Maccardell, Archie". This is how all of the many thousands of articles about people whose surnames start with "Mc" are sorted. Please see WP:MCSTJR. MANdARAX•XAЯAbИAM 04:25, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The guideline has recently changed, and I've adjusted the sort key accordingly. MANdARAX•XAЯAbИAM 20:46, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
