Might I suggest we keep the lead sentence as it was - B.B. King (born Riley B. King; September 16, 1925 – May 14, 2015) - as the style in Misplaced Pages is to use the most frequently used name at the start, and not necessarily the birth name. {{ping|Connormah}} -- ] | ] 06:42, 15 May 2015 (UTC) |

:{{ping|Fuzheado}} - ] is pretty clear about these things that the full name, not the common name should be in the lede. See other articles like ]/]/] for example. ] (]) 17:10, 15 May 2015 (UTC) |

The article says "His cause of death is a series of small strokes." and gives two references. However, neither of the references mention strokes. ] <sup>]</sup> 01:23, 16 May 2015 (UTC) |

Editors are changing his name from "Riley B. King" to "Riley Ben King". IIRC, in his autobiography he said that the B doesn't stand for anything, but I can't find my (signed) copy of the book right now. Can someone please verify this, one way or the other? ] <sup>]</sup> 02:40, 19 May 2015 (UTC) |

== Punctuation in heading. == |
|
|
|
|
|
This may just be a nitpicky punctuation-type thing, but if correctness is important in Misplaced Pages, maybe it needs to be considered, all the same. |
|
|
|
|
|
Sometimes, when I think I can guess with a high probability what a topic's Misplaced Pages article is likely to be, I guess the U.R.L. and enter it directly, and, accordingly, I entered "en.wikipedia.org/B._B._King" to look up this article. And I was a bit surprised to be redirected to a variant of this where the name was written as "B.B._King". |
|
|
|
|
|
Isn't this, strictly speaking, incorrect? Shouldn't there be a space (or underscore) between the two initials? It looks uneven, and in fact incorrect, to see it spaced unevenly, as given. To make it even, you could close up the other space too, thus: "B.B.King" - but that looks just as bad. So all that's left is to give it as "B._B._King", which is what I initially assumed it would be. |
|
|
|
|
|
So should it be changed to that? (I'm not sure I know how to do that, and also not sure if I would be out of line to do that without consulting others.) |

level-4 vital article is rated B-class on Misplaced Pages's content assessment scale.
