Why the move? I've only ever heard of him discussed as John Scott Russell. I can't see any discussion of this anywhere. Pterre (talk) 22:39, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

to my mind John Scott Russell is more specific than John Russell (Engineer), herego I would advise a fallback. signed:Donan Raven (talk) 19:26, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree and have moved it back. Such moves should only be made after discussion. A side effect is that

John Russell (engineer) now links to the page. Chris55 (talk) 12:15, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply
