Looking for some clarification before I add this composer (and probably change his name on a dozen work pages as editor). The composer is Wilson G. Smith (1856-1929). LOC Authorities list Wilson Smith as the authorized heading. Everywhere else he seems to be known as Wilson G. Smith which is how we have him listed as editor of a number of works. So, when I add him shall I keep the "G" or drop the "G"?

Thanks,

I would say to drop the G. You might check on VIAF to see if the other big national libraries treat the name similarly first, however.

Thanks Carolus. It seems only one other national library (Israel) lists Smith in VIAF. He's listed there as Wilson G. Smith. I guess we shall defer to the LOC.
