After you've already said a person's full name once (eg 'David Jones'), how should you refer to him subsequently? (Jones, Mr Jones, etc)

Hi emr,
I think there's no official rule, but most edited entries seem to stick to the last name (Jones) throughout the rest of the entry. This would also be my personal favourite, unless, of course, there's more than one Jones mentioned.
