On 8 November 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Grizel Niven, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Bronek Masojada
@Edwardx - many thanks your attention to the Alderman Masojada article & I wholeheartedly agree with your amendments but I've just reinstated a link for BSc (as MPhil is also linked) and I've added the prefix of the Hon. before James Bruce as this provides relevant context (his daughter having married into a Scottish noble family). Hope you concur - many thanks. Best Primm1234 (talk) 10:40, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Name needs to match title, surely?
[1] Doug Weller talk 12:25, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- His full name is Muhammad Ziauddin Yusuf, as cited lower down. He is known as Zia Yusuf. Plenty of other such articles. Edwardx (talk) 13:06, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Edwardx We often don't use the full name, see WP:COMMONNAME. I know what his full name is, and it's right that it should be in the article. But the first sentence must match the article title. Doug Weller talk 13:35, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. However, you should look at the actual examples given in WP:COMMONNAME. Sorry, but I have had to revert you again, in line with WP:COMMONNAME. Edwardx (talk) 14:18, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) I think the most relevant guideline would be Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biography#First mention which supports Edward's changes. the wub "?!" 14:28, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Malcolm Offord
@Edwardx - As far as I know, a life peerage is a noble title in the peerage of the United Kingdom. Please explain the reason for your edit!!??Gomach (talk) 15:57, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, Gomach. You added Malcolm Offord to Category:Nobility from Inverclyde. Life peers may technically be part of the British nobility, but we do not usually include them in such categories. And if life peers, why not non-hereditary knighthoods? This sort of approach simply leads to category clutter, with no real benefit. Edwardx (talk) 16:29, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
