Wikipedia, voting to drop "Rodham" from official bio

[Tarc]

May be of interest to some here.

The Wikipedia is currently running what they call a Request for Move, a type of discussion to rename an article. Clinton's article is currently, and has been for many years, been located at "Hillary Rodham Clinton" but some wish it to be moved to "Hillary Clinton". Either way it wings up, one term will redirect a search to the other, but the real title will be prominently displayed at the top. There are some that suggest that the move has sexist/misogynist overtones, as Mrs. Clinton's choice to use or not use "Rodham" has been th subject of discussion in the past, i.e. polls in conservative states where support dips when she uses Rodham.

Discussion can be found here

both Rodham and Clinton were given to her by men. Hillary is the name that is truly hers.
