ER or E. R.

According to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people)#Middle names and abbreviated names, we should Generally, use the most common format of a name. In this case, that seems to be ER Braithwaite, see e.g. the external links, and also Literary initials. So should this article be moved from E. R. Braithwaite to ER Braithwaite? Or should this form of the name at least appear in the article? Or should Literary initials list him as "E. R." instead of "ER"?--Noe (talk) 08:23, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Photos

In his novel he mentions a newspaper did a story about the school and published 3 photos. The photos were not very positive of the school. Has anyone ever found these photos? I can't find them on Google. --Dane Sorensen (talk) 16:33, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Birth Date

I have come across sources that say he was born in 1912. What is the source of the date used here? (Annjamaican (talk) 17:35, 17 May 2009 (UTC))

• There seem to be an awful lot of sources that say he's 101, but no one seems to know for certain (except presumably Braithwaite himself). From Guardian theatre review a couple of months ago: "There is some debate as to whether Braithwaite is 101 or a mere stripling of 93". MFlet1 (talk) 15:26, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
