Talk:Royal Style and Titles Act

message: Does anyone have any other references to support what is said in this article. I have no reason to think it's wrong but the name change seems so minor (particularly with regard to the Dominions) that there must have been other supporting evidence that the intention was to separate the crown. Even if it's just that the King or British Prime Minister said so. Ben Arnold 02:55, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: I have just added a "failed verification" tag on the article which I have visited coming from Royal and Parliamentary Titles Act 1927. I can read there that "the King was authorised to issue a royal proclamation within six months of the Act's passing, authorising him to alter the royal style and titles.[3] Following the precedent set by similar legislation in the past, the Act did not itself set out the form of the new style and titles that were to be adopted.". (No source given for the second sentence, which seems plausible).
Indeed, I have visited the 1953 act which mentions "the adoption by Her Majesty (...) of such style and titles as Her Majesty may think fit (...) and (...) the issue by Her for that purpose of Her Royal Proclamation under the Great Seal of the Realm."
I know nothing of the topic, so I cannot help, only point the article is probably erroneous or at least dubious in its current state, e.g. when it asserts that "the act also tidied up use of the title of King of Ireland" : there is no mention of "Ireland" in the act, and a subsequent Royal Proclamation should be mentioned in a correct version of the article, as far as I understand.

message: Interesting, that Canada continues to be the only non-UK Commonwealth realm, to use "United Kingdom" in its style and titles.

message: I removed -"In the Commonwealth realms..."- from the sentence, leaving just "This practice began in 1876, ...". Why? Because I don't believe the Commonwealth of Nations existed in 1876 & thus there were no Commonwealth realms, back then. GoodDay (talk) 21:42, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

message: Eventually the em dashes in the titles should be replaced with hyphens. Em dashes are a non-typable character and do not display properly on all browsers. (Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dashes)) I contacted User:Fawcett5 about why they were like that, and he said that it was just because they are formatted in that way on the source list he was using. I don't really feel like replacing them all myself but I figured I would put this here. - Stoph 03:03, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: VfD

message: The article contains the following paragraph, as a section titled Christie Mistake. It is completely unsupported by any references and appears to consist entirely of original research and speculation. I've copied the full text of the section below:
Agatha Christie made a literary mistake, whether she'd known it or not, in the eleventh chapter when, after discovering the murder, a Compagnie International des Wagon-Lits conductor is questioned, and we are told his name is Pierre Michel. Pierre Michel, however, is also the name of the conductor in Murder on the Orient Express, another train, at the time, owned and operated by the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits. Whether this is the same man or not is not revealed. Hercule Poirot, in Murder on the Orient Express, which was written six years after this book was written, does not express any change in temperament or reveal to us that he has met this man before when he meets Pierre Michel. We therefore assume Christie had forgotten she'd used the name previously, or that Hercule Poirot has forgotten this man, a completely uncharacteristic trait of the little, Belgian detective.
Its supposedly noteworthy revelation of a mistake is based on the unfounded assumption that Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits could not have two different employees with the not uncommon name Pierre Michel working as conductors on different trains. In such a case, Poirot would not be expected to recognize a conductor he had not met before who simply happened to have the same unremarkable name as one he had met six years earlier.
Although the observation that Christie reused a minor character's name is interesting and possibly was a mistake of sorts, it is not particularly noteworthy. This section is not well written and, in my opinion, it adds nothing of value to the article.
I think this section should be removed completely. If there's been no objection posted here in a week or so, I'm going to remove it.--Jim10701 (talk) 23:49, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Per WP:NOTDIRECTORY this list of  people with the first name Oliver should be gotten rid of.   There are literally thousands of notable people with that first name. It would be as ridiculous as listing every person named John in the John article. The list of people with the Oliver surname is different. Firstly, there are far less people with the surname Oliver, than with the given name Oliver, making the list somewhat manageable. Secondly, and more importantly, the justification for having the surname list is that people who are looking for someone specific and can't remember the first name of the person, will find the person through the list. However, it is far less probable that someone would remember the first name of a person and forget the last name of a person. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 04:13, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
