- Good question. Pinging @Akme: --Jan Kameníček (talk) 18:22, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
- A very good question:) It had me scratching my head, till I turned to that old standby: Google. https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ethel-Turner —Akme (talk) 18:33, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Akme: I see. Meanwhile I have also done some search and found this site of the Institute of Australian Culture, where it is stated: Although born as Ethel Mary Turner, she styled herself as Ethel Sibyl Turner…" So I guess we might move the page to Author:Ethel Mary Turner (mentioning "Ethel Sibyl Turner" as her pen name) per Wikisource:Author names, as "Sibyl" is not so commonly used when referring to her nowadays. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 19:27, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
- Actually, I was just about to suggest that, since all other sites refer to her as Ethel Turner, it might be better to just remove the "Sibyl" to avoid confusion. But I think you're probably right, on the whole. (BTW, I can't recall seeing a single story signed Ethel Sibyl Turner) [Edit: That's a very interesting site. There are more pen names there: I've added them to the author page] —Akme (talk) 19:34, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
- OK, moved. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 21:17, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
