Inconsistent spelling of name

[edit]

In the link to the Peterborough ditch murders the perpetrator's name is spelled "Joanne" Dennehy, but in the linked article it is "Joanna". I've no idea which is correct.89.212.50.177 (talk) 11:21, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Article disambiguator

[edit]

Why is the disambiguator for this article "(appropriate adult)"? When one visits the page about Janet Leach, the potter, the hat note says "For the English social worker, see Janet Leach (appropriate adult)"; which seems inconsistent with the wording of the hat note. Shouldn't the disambiguation text say "(social worker)"? Other articles about social workers, who have a parenthetical disambiguator in the title, use the more concise and recognizable term "(social worker)". Also, many other biographical articles, when these need disambiguation, use the person's usual occupation, not their specific function in a single event. An appropriate adult is a very specific legal term in English law and is likely to be unfamiliar to most readers, causing confusion. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 02:10, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
