Matthew Curran-39876.

[basham]

Usually reported as P.O.Curran how can his alias be given as
Private Curran when he was a Naval Petty Officer.

Boxing books and reports give his nickname as :Nutty:

[claudevsq]

Added!

[basham]

Why his he still listed as Matthew Curran when as stated he was
reported and also included in yearbook records etc. as P.O.Curran.

How can he have an alias of Petty Officer and Private.

[claudevsq]

Simply because I was told to add nicknames, not replace them...

[basham]

Do you simply do as told without any checking first.

[claudevsq]

Listen, I only enter the bouts because I trust you. I won't move a finger in the future if you're not satisfied with the rules i have to adher to...

[basham]

Have Listened but did not say anything about entering bouts.
Always prepared to verify anything I have submitted.

If the rules you have to adhere to do not allow a name to be amended and an alias to be omitted
then see no point in me trying to improve existing records.

It makes Box-Rec records look ridiculous when you can type in P.O.Curran on Google and get stacks
of information on a champion boxer of this name,Type in P.O.Curran on Box-Rec records and you get
boxers with names Pee Pee and Pop Eye.

[claudevsq]

OK, I'll change his name... I just meant that I can't omit a nickname, but I can change his name... As far as nobody reverts it...

[basham]

You have now given him a silly name of PO

Any British Boxing Historian would tell you he was known as P.O. Curran.

It should be obvious that P.O. was an abbreviation for Petty Officer.

It would be of interest to know who came up with Private as an alias. :??

[claudevsq]

Yes, PO, and you're still not satisfied? The system can have problems is there are any signs like a "." in someone's name. Who first put in "Private Curran" as alias, I don't know...

I'm really sorry, but as this is about a mexican boxer and about a sensible issue, marina or Blue would maybe be better suited to answer your request... I'm sure they are soon going to respond you, one of them...

But what I can do, I will put your article into our Editor's forum, so that they will read it for sure. Have a nice day,

Claude.

Don't worry, normally, IF it will be done, it takes less than a week...

[delisa]

Of course, yes, it should be P.O. Curran!
