Sir

We usually don't include the word "Sir" in the article title, right? Punkmorten (talk) 21:16, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The title format 'Sir xxx, 3rd Baronet' appears to be highly prevelant. A quick glance shows it on hundreds of articles. Benea (talk) 19:07, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Correct. We generally avoid "Sir" for knights, but whenever we have "nth Baronet" in the title, we precede the name with "Sir". Choess (talk) 15:41, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
