Names and titles

[edit]

Just to explain why I have undone a couple of recent changes to the Barbara Ward article . . .
She was mostly known as Barbara Ward (see DNB - "her husband was knighted and she became Lady Jackson, though she continued to use her maiden name", her books etc.). It says in the MOS: "in all cases, a woman should be called by the name she is most widely known under." Also, it is the Wikipedia style to include middle names in the opening paragraph, in her case Mary. References to her as Barbara W Jackson or Barbara Ward Jackson seem inappropriate to me - (perhaps following US practice?) - I don't think she would have called herself that, and there are only two UK-based hits on google UK using that form. [1]

I doubt if it is right to call her "Dame" here - this article has already had attention from people who know about these conventions and they didn't add it - I think probably not: "The honorifics Sir and Dame should be included in the text inline for baronets, knights bachelor, and members of knightly orders whose rank grants them that dignity, provided that they do not hold a higher dignity, such as a peerage, which trumps that usage." She was only a dame for a short time before becoming a peer, and was rarely, if ever, called Dame Barbara Jackson, as far as I know. --HJMG 12:51, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
