use of bold edit

@Abraham, B.S. reverted this edit because "knighthood is formally part of Rowland's name." I do not dispute that, however, the guidance at MOS:BOLD "is to highlight the first occurrence of the article's title word or phrase in the lead section." I removed boldface from "sir" because it is not part of "the article's title word or phrase." ~TPW 15:30, 31 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi. I note that MOS:BOLD says: "The most common use of boldface is to highlight the first occurrence of the article's title word or phrase in the lead section." That is, it is most common for the article's title word to be bolded, not that it must be. Cheers, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 20:41, 31 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
