Disambiguation link notification for April 13
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Alfred Clapham, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Society of Antiquaries (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

kt
Plz stop adding Kt. It is not used after peers titles and is now no longer used after knights either. (Any unqualified use of 'Sir' indicates a knight bachelor - specific post nominals being used to differentiate those who are holders of various different orders.) If you search London Gazette (Supplement 27 October 1964 - the last official update on this matter) for state authorised post nominals it's not included.Garlicplanting (talk) 12:59, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
- Kt is used as a post-nominal letter by peers. As they do not use the tile of Sir (afterall their peerage title takes presidence) there is not indication of the appointment as a knight bachelor. Therefore, Kt can be used to show this.
- See Debrett's - Knight and Imperial Society of Knights Bachelor - Form of address Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 13:02, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
- A quick google shows a number of institutions referring to him with Kt as a post nom: The Stratford and Warwick Waterways Trust, Leicester Tigers and Cardiff Metropolitan University. Also, his own website uses it "In July 2007 he was appointed Minister of State for UK Trade & Investment and became a life peer taking the title, Digby, Lord Jones of Birmingham Kt". Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 13:20, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
- I gave you the official citation of approved post nominals from the official newpaper UK Crown/government which is followed by both parliament and government. You failed to respond to this at all. The ISKB has neither the power or authority to set rules usage it describes as 'adopted' not authorised anyway. Debretts doesn't even use kt in the link. The other sites have no expertise whatsoever. Peers own website are so replete with errors on their own titles that citing them is worthless - his calls him Lord Digby Jones repeatedly which should tell you how reliable we can take it. All you cites are lesser authorities than that I gave please address why they are superior? Garlicplanting (talk) 10:18, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

Treat a man the way he can be and ought to be, and he will become as he can be and should be.
Motto of the Day (WP:MOTD) is in a state of emergency and really needs your help!

Please take a moment to review the nominations and nominate your own new mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review and Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/'Specials. Any help would be appreciated! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 09:13, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
