So, the right thing to do at this point would be to write to them with the given evidence, so that they will fix the attribution. | |
| Mar 8, 2022 at 16:55 | comment | added | kodlu | I doubt MR or ZbMath do not know this convention. A lot of the information there is quite old, what do you want them to do, go though their databases looking for M's to replace? And try to see whether the first initial is indeed M? | |

| Mar 8, 2022 at 16:00 | comment | added | Vince Vatter | Thank you. I had not known about this practice (and neither, it seems, do zbMath or Mathematical Reviews). | |
| Mar 8, 2022 at 15:52 | comment | added | YCor | Ah, given this, indeed that is likely. | |
| Mar 8, 2022 at 15:50 | comment | added | Carlo Beenakker | certainly, but since Henri Meyniel is listed as the author of M. Meyniel's paper, there is little doubt that "M." is not a misprint for "H." but just means Monsieur. | |
| Mar 8, 2022 at 15:46 | comment | added | YCor | Why "quite sure"? This is indeed an assumption, but there are very many French first names starting with "M." | |
