moving Hawkins from "D/Da" to this page

[This is the comment/query I originally posted on the discussion page for this list, part D/Da, with my explanation ad nauseum.]

David O. Hawkins is on this page due to a misspelling on Findagrave. That misspelling has been corrected on Findagrave, and the outlink on this list now takes you to the corrected page. Shouldn't he be moved from this list to the "H" list, where someone will be more likely to find him and create his article? Just sayin' ...

He does not appear on the "H/Ha" list, and this seems an occasion to "be bold:"

(1) the prohibition to copy/paste is specificly against copying "from Find a Grave," and that is not what I am doing.

(2) the intention is to prevent copy vio, and probably also to prevent the creation of a [viral] perpetually growing list, which was not Jim Tipton's intention, and would defeat the purpose of the personally-submitted list. I am doing neither of those things.

(3) Due to the fact that the list has existed for a decade, and this talk page had never been created, it seems unlikely that anyone will even read this, so awaiting guidance would be futile.

My course seems clear, at least to me (always a dangerous state of affairs). I will forge ahead.

[I will post these remarks on the discussion page of "H/Ha," as well, should anyone happen to look.]
