Support - I work on the administration and branding of the prize and this request has come from its Director, Toby Mundy. Please see how the prize is referred to on our website:
http://thebailliegiffordprize.co.uk/ You're right to point out that it has historically appeared in both forms, but our feeling is that the Wikipedia page is often readers' first encounter with the prize, and as such it should be seen in its full form

Closing comment: I think we should thank
James.douglas for following our procedures so well and disclosing his
COI, but consensus is strongly to stick to our normal naming conventions, no support at all for the move in fact. I hope his boss understands.
