1. Quotation marks. If the form of name in the access point includes quotation marks around an element or elements of the name, retain them. Use double quotation marks in the access point instead of other forms of quotation marks.

2. Initials. If the form of name in the access point consists of or contains initials, regularize the spacing and put one space after an initial that is followed by a word or other element that is not an initial and no space after an initial that is followed by another initial consisting of one letter.

4. Place name at end. If the form of name in the access point includes a place name at the end and the place is enclosed within parentheses or is preceded by a comma-space, retain in the access point the punctuation as found.
