Post noms

British post-nominal letters order:

1. Bt/Bart or Esq
2. Decorations and honours (in descending order of precedence)
3. Appointments (for example, QC for Queen's Counsel, MP for member of parliament)
4. Higher educational qualifications, e.g. University degrees (in ascending order starting from undergraduate)
5. Religious institutes (for example, SSF) and medical qualifications
6. Fellowship or membership of learned societies, academies or professional institutions (for example, RA, FRCP, FRSA)
7. Membership of the Armed Forces (for example, RAF, RN, RMP)

Post-nominal letters are separated by commas (except degrees from the same university). [1] [2]

e.g. John Smith, OBE, FBA

e.g. Jane Smith, QC, LLB LLM (Birm), DPhil (Oxf)

"PC" post nom

• PC is not used as a post-nom unless the individual is a peer. This is because membership of the Privy Council is signified by the use of The Right Honourable. As lords/ladies use The Rt Hon by right of their title, they also use PC to show that they are additionally members of the Privy Council.
• None-peers NEVER use PC. On Wikipedia, titles such as The Rt Hon are only used in the infobox. This does not, however, mean that PC can then be used elsewhere. It simply isn't correct.
• These would be correct: "John Smith, Baron Bolton, PC" for the first sentence of the introduction; "The Right Honourable John Smith, Baron Bolton, PC" for the infobox; "Jane Smith" for the intro; "The Right Honourable Jane Smith" for the infobox. PC is an extra indicter only used for the nobility.

As per Debrett's: "In a social style of address for a peer who is a privy counsellor it is advisable that the letters PC should follow the name. For all other members of the Privy Council the prefix ‘Rt Hon’ before the name is sufficient identification."

Maintain page style

As per this request for arbitration:

Wikipedia does not mandate styles in many different areas; these include (but are not limited to) American vs. British spelling, date formats, and citation style. Where Wikipedia does not mandate a specific style, editors should not attempt to convert Wikipedia to their own preferred style, nor should they edit articles for the sole purpose of converting them to their preferred style, or removing examples of, or references to, styles which they dislike.

MOS:NUM:

Where this manual provides options, consistency should be maintained within an article unless there is a good reason to do otherwise. The Arbitration Committee has ruled that editors should not change an article from one guideline-defined style to another without a substantial reason unrelated to mere choice of style, and that revert-warring over optional styles is unacceptable. If discussion cannot determine which style to use in an article, defer to the style used by the first major contributor.
