E.J.J. or Hans? edit

When a person's first name is E. (probably from "Emile"), but later on he wants to be called "Hans", which mostly happens, whereas however officially it stays E., is it correct then to mention the self chosen, but officially not confirmed name in the article, without indicating, that this is not the real name? --VKing (talk) 01:38, 5 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

In a way he's constantly using somebody elses or other persons' name (for instance his[1]).
Under circumstances this even is punishable.--VKing (talk) 14:08, 9 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • It appears that Professor Schenk, himself, has contributed to this article, and his username contains his full initials "E.J.J.". WP:COI notwithstanding, at least the source is accurate. I am currently part of the WikiProject on Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons, and am working on proper citations and sources for this article. The original editor appears to be inactive, but the later sections and edits by Prof. Schenk have some cut & paste "earmarks" from his University bio pages (specifically the "Schematic view" headline and section content). — DennisDallas (talk) 17:09, 7 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
