Titles and styles in article names

Please see WP:TITLESINTITLES - "Styles, such as "His Grace" or "HRH", are not used in the page titles of biographical articles". I have reverted your move of Henry Fetherstonhaugh, 2nd Baronet. GiantSnowman 09:32, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

@GiantSnowman: There's a bit more detail on this at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (royalty and nobility), linked from that page - baronets are a weird special case. Sir ABC XYZ, Nth Baronet is treated as an acceptable article naming form (though ABC XYZ is preferred). In practice, it seems the full form is used much more commonly than the short one. I think it's a little clunky, personally, but it's been standard like that for a long time.
In this particular case, though, Henry Fetherstonhaugh, 2nd Baronet seems definitely off - the guideline explicitly deprecates this form and suggests that it should be Henry Fetherstonhaugh (unmodified), Henry Fetherstonhaugh (disambiguator), or Sir Henry Fetherstonhaugh, 2nd Baronet. It looks like there's no other HF so we can take the simple form of the name. Andrew Gray (talk) 11:39, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
Yes, I came across at that page after I posted here - like you say, it looks like 'Sir' is used to disambiguate, so doesn't apply here. Thanks, GiantSnowman 11:50, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
Looks like we can do without the disambiguators for both the father and son as the names are unique (for the time being). I'll move them accordingly. Andrew Gray (talk) 12:16, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

WikiCup 2018 May newsletter

The second round of the 2018 WikiCup has now finished. Most contestants who advanced to the next round scored upwards of 100 points, but two with just 10 points managed to scrape through into round 3. Our top scorers in the last round were:

  •   Cas Liber, our winner in 2016, with three featured articles
  •   Iazyges, with nine good articles and lots of bonus points
  •   Yashthepunisher, a first time contestant, with two featured lists
  •   SounderBruce, a finalist last year, with seventeen good topic articles
  •   Usernameunique, a first time contestant, with fourteen DYKs
  •   Muboshgu, a seasoned competitor, with three ITNs and
  •   Courcelles, another first time contestant, with twenty-seven GARs

So far contestants have achieved twelve featured articles between them and a splendid 124 good articles. Commendably, 326 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2018 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met; most of the GARs are fine, but a few have been a bit skimpy.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
