Baron Sandys

Hello, nice to see that you're back. I have a couple of questions I think you could help me with. What names did the second and third Barons Sandys use (Moyses and Marcus, I believe although I don't have any sources). They also had a younger brother named Lord Arthur Augustus Edwin Hill (known as Augustus?). Can you also confirm that it was the third Baron who served as Comptroller of the Household and Treasurer of the Household in the 1840's and 1850's (as stated here). According to these Wikipedia articles, Whig Government 1835–1841, Whig Government 1846–1852 and Arthur Hill-Trevor, 1st Baron Trevor (as well as the two articles above), it was his nephew Lord Trevor who held these posts, but I think they are wrong (he wasn't an MP in 1841 for a start).

Tom Denning

This needs to be reverted. Firstly, his most common name was simply Lord Denning, but secondly MOSTCOMMON specifically excludes people with peerages, who should go at the most appropriate title per MOS naming guidelines for peers (which is actually wrong in regards to how it's done irl, but meh). I was ignorant of this fact until a few months ago, when an attempted move by me was queried by a user citing the same thing. As per "The principal exception is in the case of naming royalty and people with titles". Ironholds ((User talk:Ironholds|talk)) 21:41, 17 September 2009 (UTC) I happen to have your talkpage on my watchlist and I couldn't help noticing Masalai's comments which seem to be personal attacks. You can always report them on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard. Surtsicna ((User talk:Surtsicna|talk)) 11:26, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Declining a British honour

Hi, Proteus. I added a couple of names to the article (R. A. Butler, 3rd Marquess of Lansdowne). I know that Charles Pelham Villiers declined a peerage in 1885 or 1886. Do you know what kind of peerage he was offered (a barony or more likely a viscountcy, I presume)? Tryde ((User talk:Tryde|talk)) 18:38, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom GA review

A review to see if Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom meets Wikipedia:Good article criteria has started, and has been put on hold. Suggestions for improvement are at Talk:Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom/GA2, and are mainly to do with coverage and neutrality, and building the lead section. Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom is one of our most high profile and popular articles, attracting an average of over 11,000 readers every day. You have made more than 30 edits to the article, and so you might be interested in helping to make the improvements needed to get it listed as a Good Article.
