A fact from Enoch zu Guttenberg appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 29 July 2018 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
I understand that there seems to be a rule to have a person's birth name at the beginning, which I don't think is a good idea if it deviates much from the name that is common and known. I doubt that we serve our readers well by citing all his 10+ given names before we ever mention when he lived. IAR? We don't supply his place of birth until in the body, how about doing the same for his birth names? (As it was, that is.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:11, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It could but would still hold up reading important things for too long, imho. Might work for Max Reger though, - feel free to do it there, - I would revert a second time, which I hate to do. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:43, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
