i: My magick wikipedia importance detector software what i wrote myself tells me there is NO internationally important Maddison ever. Ever. Of course, internationality does not necessarily appear to be a general concern of the KWQ setter, but it still scores as a poor name...

Apart from the legions (~7) of links I did not get sufficiently interested to click, the Maddison wp page has an ENTIRE pile of sportspeople, a recent bass player for Mudhoney, a Canadian arachnologist, a female British composer who may have been the lover of Gabriel Fauré (easily the most kwq-likely circumstances among the lot I thought until I found nothing)...

There's also John Maddison Morton, a farcewright whom I mention only bcz an opus of his is entitled Box and Cox, which some of you might find vaguely fnarringly amusing, but which reminded me of a particular parametrization of the power transform (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-Cox-Transformation).

No Golden Boys in sight, though, so (i) remains a mystery...
