John French was born in Ripple, Kent - see for example this reference. Also, there is no such place as Ripple Vale in Kent... Sliggy 18:22, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Style issue discussion
There is a discussion going on here whether or not the first sentence of a biographical article should contain the full name of the individual and include any post nominal initials (eg. VC, KCB, OBE) or whether these should be relegated to later in the article. I have tried to point out that this is standard style and part of their full titles but there are “readability” concerns. This arose because of the Richard O’Connor featured article and one possible solution, a biobox, is now in place on that page. Please make your opinions known.Dabbler 12:27, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
