Section needs to be renamed/reorganized

The category seems to ignore that the idea of "knighthood" differs from country to country. In the UK it is associated with state awards, title "Sir" etc, whereas in Germany (say) the titles "Herr" etc have a different significance. 118.90.30.81 (talk) 23:21, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

British Knights should be under "B," not "U"

Filing "British Knights" under the letter "U" doesn't make much sense, and I propose we move that category under "B," where it is more likely to be sought (I looked for it there, after not seeing it under "E"; I didn't even think of looking under "U").

If we were calling them "United Kingdom Knights" (which, to my mind, would not only be a clumsy designation, but also an extraneous one, since separate categories for both Irish and Scottish knights already exist in this list), then perhaps filing them under "U" would make sense; but we're calling them by a "B" word, so logically they should appear under that initial.Chillowack (talk) 22:45, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
