Make sure about "S.R. Nathan" and "SR Nathan" since most government documents and web sites refer to him as "SR Nathan." - Fuzheado 02:34, 3 Aug 2003 (UTC)
http://www.istana.gov.sg/president.html says he was born in Singapore, not Tamil Nadu as is currently listed in the entry.
Can someone confirm the birthplace as Singapore and then correct the entry, or note the discrepancy between the article and the official website? -- Jim Fung, July 8, 2005
The article currently contains the text:
This information could be better formatted and cleaned up. Can someone who knows his education history please do so? 129.78.64.100 10:16, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
-- 4.248.233.140 05:20, 8 August 2006 (UTC)== S R Nathan ==
The name of the President is exactly "S R Nathan" and this is clear from the Istana website or any government website. I have no clue why this page is called "Sellapan Rama Nathan", but we got to get this right. If there is no further comment, this page will be moved to the correct page title. (I think the same problem applies to Shunmugam Jayakumar.) -- Vsion 07:50, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
Got the reply, guess what? Turns out that the anon is right, the name is "Sellapan Ramanathan". You are also right about the abbreviation. :-) . So now there are 2 correct versions:
All other variations are strictly incorrect. Shall we move the page to "Sellapan Ramanathan"? What about the categories, should we change to index 'R' or stay with index 'N'? -- Vsion 08:50, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
Someone may want to make this correction. When Nathan was in MINDEF, he was Director of Security and Intelligence Division (SID) with the rank of Permanent Secretary. The ISD is part of the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Categorising it under N while leaving it at its current title simply looks wrong and causes confusion for the 99.9% of people who are not from Singapore. Haddiscoe 10:24, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
The picture in the infobox should be an official portrait of Mr. Nathan. I can't find it on Commons. Does anyone know how? Bonchygeez ( talk) 17:29, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Is there any better picture of this guy? The current one looks horrendous. 18.138.1.34 ( talk) 13:49, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
It's clearly stated he was elected unopposed and that applicants had been rejected as ineligible. How many more times do you want to write it in? 202.156.13.10 ( talk) 23:53, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
