If you've followed all the above methods, it's possible you've fallen prey to the cache. There's one dramatically unfortunate aspect of most email clients: when you first receive an email from somebody new, your email client will cache the name and email as a new contact. That contact name is persistent, no matter what the name associated with the email address may be in the future. Individuals must deleted this cached contact for a new one to be associated. For example, the wiki.curator email address first received an email from Malcolm McClintock as VP Communications. It cached the name to a new contact, future Alex be damned. | If you've followed all the above methods, it's possible you've fallen prey to the cache.

Unless the owner of the wiki.curator account navigates to http://contacts.google.com and deletes it, unfortunately it will persist. Since this is the case for all email accounts, there is some degree of futility. It's OK. | Unless the owner of the wiki.curator account navigates to http://contacts.google.com and deletes it, unfortunately it will persist.
