The spelling, and hence article title, is incorrect - he was christened Mark Boxer, and used the single name "Marc" as a pseudonym. ExLibre (talk) 14:56, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's clear that many people, including the bbc and the author of the Anna Ford page, expect to reach him as Marc Boxer, so what we need is a redirect or two, rather than a total move of the article. Bob aka Linuxlad (talk) 18:23, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You may well be right - but surely the redirect should be from Marc Boxer, and from Marc, to a Mark Boxer page? There is a great deal more content to be added to Mark Boxer - he was a celebrated editor of both the Sunday Times Magazine and of Tatler - and although he is probably best known as the cartoonist Marc, that is by no means his only significance. So it's important that the main article is as Mark Boxer, not Marc. ExLibre (talk) 11:08, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tend to agree (I'd stumbled across the Tatler/ST mag content too) - it's just that after you've first set a page up, moving it AND it's talk page cleanly usually requires an admin :-) Bob aka Linuxlad (talk) 11:30, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think I have succeeded in moving both page and talk page - may be worth creating a new associated page simply titled "Marc"? ExLibre (talk) 09:14, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
