Vladimir Dixon's Wiki article mentions absolutely nothing about the person except for his involvement with this book. I believe that it would be simpler to move the single sentence from it that is not already in this article, to here. Fleebo 00:42, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
The presumably careful preservation of the number of dots/periods in
strongly suggests a consensus that the title is considered erroneous when the number is changed. Yet the spacing in the Beckett bio (which i've copy&pasted here) is grossly different in general than that at p 15 of James Joyce A to Z, and in particular, the unique blank in the middle gap in our Beckett bio grossly differs in appearance from both p 15 and what is used in the accompanying article. Unless the editors who want the mentions not to turn into
take pleasure in effecting that by silent but determined unexplained edits, like guerrilla editors, there should be a paragraph (possibly in a footnote) in each article that mentions it, at least summarizing the attitude and practice of non-Joycean scholars and librarians (and certainly those of Joyceans, unless they are too stubbornly trying to make a cryptic point) toward handling the cryptic and problematic title.

Each dot refers to a century that existed between each author, so the initial way you listed it here is correct. Any changes do in fact destroy the meaning of the title and correspondingly the essay which follows. — Preceding

Wasserman's article indicates that Dixon in the '20s was living not in America, as the last line of the Wikipedia article here states, but in fact in Paris, which of course makes a contribution of some sort to Shakespeare & Co. (even if only the lending of a name?) much more plausible. A graduate of MIT and Harvard with an English-speaking father, he was apparently something of a linguist. Fascinating that he died the year of Exag's publication. Perhaps his services were no longer required. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.48.53.75 ( talk) 23:48, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
