FAG editing:


I am moving on to other computer habits, so no new memorials for me. (E.g., no transfers to me please.)


FAG is my last step to the LONG good nights sleep that I deserve. I've served in two wars, hitch-hiked through Europe, flown around the world, seen 2 total solar eclipses, done Mud Runs, Spartan Runs, and marathons. (Plus a lot more!) And now I focus on improving veteran memorials -- especially those in Arizona.


I add periods to middle initials for 3 reasons: 1. The stonecutters of grave markers add the periods. 2. Middle initial periods are used in obituaries and news articles. 3. The FAG convention on naming memorials encourages middle initial periods. (See: https://support.findagrave.com/s/article/Naming-Memorials#memname )

Reasons given for not accepting my "add period to initial" suggestions --

"I only accept a period for an initial when other edits are included."
"Suggestion does not match information I have for this person or memorial."


Thanks for reading my missive, and Happy Graving on FAG!
