Happy new year to all on here

Could we have the standings updated for this thread please?

A hit with the first OR last name . . .  (Q, X, Z)  -  4 points

A hit with an alliterative name scores the points for both first and last names as specified above  (so an alliterative at the A spot would be worth 5 points, the B spot would be worth 3 points, the Q spot would be worth 8 points)

 

Shouldn't Xi Xi be worth 8 points, not 6?

[Banana 859]

A few of us are missing points for Mike Davis and I am missing points for Mark Souder

[theoldlady 2,305]

@Wormfarmer Please increase our scores by 1 point.

 

Jiang Zemin - @Banana @Hell@wannamaker  theoldlady Z (3)

NB! A hit with the first OR last name . . .  (Q, X, Z)  -  4 points

 

Thank you!

[Wormfarmer 427]

Thank you!  I fixed the errors and added Mark Souder which results in a big jump to T2nd for Banana.  However, I have not scored for Mike Davis (yet).  There are literally 50 people named Mike Davis on wiki and none of them are listed as columnists, which is my only clue based on a couple of entries.  There was a UCLA based author named Mike Davis that died, but are you guys digging that deep?  I hesitate to give credit with that much ambiguity.  It was pretty likely that somebody named Mike Davis was going to die this year!  Comments?

@Wormfarmer V - Gianluca Vialli 2 pts V + 2 pts WS = 4 pts

is a hit for several of us here. (NB! 3 points for those who had his name under G.: 1 pts G + 2 pts WS.)

Helen Grayco - Death Impends solo at G, (5 if obit?)

 

If a number occurs in parenthesis after your score, that reflects a hit without a QO yet.

 

Let me tell you something about Helen Grayco... you're wrong about her, @Wormfarmer.

She was a qualified hit for @Death Impends.

QO: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/helen-grayco-singer-widow-madcap-181209155.html?guccounter=1

And

A QO for Slava Zaitsev: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/13/fashion/slava-zaitsev-dead.html

[theoldlady 2,305]

Rolf Harris is a solo hit for me. 2 for H and 3 for Solo hit = 5 pts. @Wormfarmer
