Hi there. Saw your edit on the Prince William page. I'm not sure if you're the same person who has been making the same edit over and over again, but either way, please see the following pages before you edit again:

Please consider this your warning. My next step will be to request that you be blocked for disruptive editing/ignoring naming conventions. Prince of Canada t | c 14:56, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I have posted the following summary over at the talk page:

Summary Okay, so after all this brouhaha, it's looking like myself, Cameron*, and Q T C think that it should be Diana, Princess of Wales in the infobox, because:

  • The notes at Naming Conventions, while originally intended only for article naming, still provide a useful guideline for how to name royalty and peerage within articles;
  • Diana, Princess of Wales is more recognizable than any of Diana Spencer, Hon. Diana Spencer, or Lady Diana Spencer;
  • Diana, Princess of Wales was the highest title to which she was entitled in her lifetime (clarification: HRH The Princess of Wales was the higher, but that would be ambiguous due to other holders of the title);
  • Princess of Wales was her title at William's birth.

Her maiden name is noted here, addressing Listswhich's concerns about that not being prominent in the article; I'm going to add a little more clarity to that bit. I think it is now reasonable to agree that we have formed a consensus. I am going to let Listswhich know. Cheers.

So.. well that's about it, really. It's going to stay as Diana, Princess of Wales in the infobox, with her maiden name noted prominently in the Early Life section. Prince of Canada t | c 14:48, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
