Misplaced Pages

First year as active

If you look at different Misplaced Pages language versions of this article, his years as active is listed differently on different Misplaced Pages languagues. In this article it says his first year as active was 1942. In the article I find only info of him being active first in 1943. It would be nice with clear info and source why he is written as first active in 1942. This could then also be used on other B.B. King articles on different languages of Misplaced Pages.

Manual of Style

Title of this article does not conform to MOS:SPACEINITS, which prescribes periods and spaces after initials in personal names unless the subject styles themselves otherwise, so CCH Pounder. Example given is J. R. R. Tolkien. Is B.B. King an exception? My favorite reference work (Donald Clarke's Penguin Encyclopedia of Popular Music) thinks not, but "B.B." seems rusted on in Misplaced Pages. I'd boldly change it, but would then feel obliged to change all incoming links, and may not live that long. Doug butler (talk) 23:04, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
