(1) According to Nick Humphrey his grandson, "Archibald Hill" was never called this but always either Vivian or simply A.V. Perhaps the page to reflect this should be moved to "Archibald Vivian Hill".
(2) On the 3rd - 5th December 2008, the Council for Assisting Refugee Academics celebrated its 75 years of being founded with a conference at the Royal Society "In Defence of Learning: The Past and the Present". Professor Paul Weindling gave a talk ‘The Royal Society and Refugee Scientists: the Role of A.V. Hill.’ This is not yet out. But when it is I shall add a references.

I agree. I've only ever heard this person referred to as A.V. Hill. So, I think it's appropriate to include his middle name in the article title. Noca2plus (talk) 22:04, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"Hill's first paper, published in 1909, was remarkably prescient, anticipating by many years the emergence of receptor theory."
This is not true. The father of the chemical receptor theory is John Langley, Hill's post-graduate supervisor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lenov (talk • contribs) 22:35, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
