The result of the move request was moved to William Fitzwilliam, 4th Earl Fitzwilliam to correct capitalization; I'll move the other articles for this family as well, as I could find no sources that included the capital W. Aervanath (talk) 05:04, 12 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

William FitzWilliam, 4th Earl FitzWilliam → William Fitzwilliam, 4th Earl Fitzwilliam — No outside comments after several days; relisting. Dekimasuよ! 23:57, 3 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Incorrect capitalisation. The biography of Fitzwilliam by E. A. Smith (Manchester University Press, 1975) and the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography both have a lower case "w" in the name "Fitzwilliam". — Johnbull (talk) 14:20, 25 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
