message: You will need to look at the history and look at the major changes that User:Tradin2 did to this disambiguation page. If there is anything worthy then think of moving it to this main article. Cheers --Lethaniol 16:18, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Could Someone with knowledge of Baron look at Barron 

message: A Baron can also be known as somebody that is hardcore at what they do best. Mainly linked with gaming, (see EXAMPLES below) can also be linked with an activity.
EXAMPLES
"Fancy a baron?" - Translation: Fancy playing computer? "You are a baron!" - Translation: Congratulations on doing something hardcore. I am impressed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.182.29.76 (talk) 01:09, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  What relevance does this have? 

message: I tagged the "Fictitious Barons" section with an  tag, as I fail to see how this is relevant to the article at all, however didn't want to unilaterally remove the entire section. If somebody thinks this section is even remotely encyclopedic, please explain here and remove the tag. Else, if there is substantial agreement, let's get rid of the thing. I think the article may benefit from expansion, but not by inserting clutter and/or cruft. --Storkk (talk) 11:44, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Fictitious Barons

message: The etymology seems either wrong or very confused; see here and here and here and here and here, all of which are consistent with each other and say nothing about Latin liber, "free," as the root of the word. Cynwolfe (talk) 00:04, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Etymology 

message: Baron is a specific title of nobility. The word baron comes from Old French baron, itself from Old High German and latin (liber) baro meaning "(free) man, (free) warrior"; it merged with cognate Old English beorn meaning "nobleman.
"Bur", "Burr" or "Burri" in today and old Albanian language mean "Man".
"Bari" in albanian christian terminology mean shepherd of souls or a spiritual leader. 
"Bari" also mean shepherd.
"Bur i lire" in Albanian mean "freeman". 
Latin word "Liber" seams to have the origine from albanian phrase "bur lir" or "lir bur" as "freeman".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.203.81.141 (talk) 03:24, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Searching for Baroness redirects to this page. The semantic sexism aside, there is a popular progressive/sludge metal band called Baroness which I believe it would make more sense for Baroness to direct to.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.94.45.117 (talk) 00:01, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Redirect 

message: Recent edits to page Baron by 193.164.162.125 (talk) have been reverted owing to incorrect information.  The baronage of Scotland survives beyond 2004, a fact that can be readily ascertained from the web site of the Court of the Lord Lyon (www.lyon-court.com), see e.g. http://www.lyon-court.com/lordlyon/536.html. In addition, Lord of Parliament is still a term used for Scottish peers.  See the parliamentary web site, e.g. http://www.parliament.uk/site-information/glossary/lord-of-parliament/.

thread_title:  British vs continental barons 

message: The infobox appears to have made the common mistake of ranking a prince above a duke. The infobox gets it half-right by ranking sovereign prince below a [sovereign] duke, but then puts prince above duke again. Princes as members of royal families rank above others. They do not rank above Dukes because they are princes (prince is a lower title), but because they have higher precedence as royalty in much the same way the The Earl of Wessex ranks above a Duke - because he's royal, rather than because he's an Earl.
Put simply the sovereign ranks go as follows: prince -> duke -> Grand Duke -> King -> Emperor -> Pope. So the noble/royal family ranks derived from them follow the same pattern. Remember that a sovereign of any rank is higher than a noble of any rank. So a sovereign prince ranks higher than a royal archduke who is not sovereign. The infobox needs to delete prince from its rank above duke. I am also not sure that a vidame ranked as a vicomte, as I understand it was a position of minor untitled noblility. I'm not familiar enough with the rank of vidame to comment further though. 121.73.7.84 (talk) 10:48, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: BTW, Margraves and Landgraves rank(ed) with sovereign dukes, but as these are/were sovereign titles based upon the rank of count I can see why they may have been included in that category. Marquis and Marquess as far as I am aware have only ever been noble titles. 121.73.7.84 (talk) 10:53, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

message: I am an American, ignorant in these matters. Is the wife of a Baron a Baroness, and the husband of a Baroness a Baron, or does the title pass though only one side of a marriage? If the latter, is the partner still referred to as Lord or Lady?

message: The etymology section lacks crucial information about why the female form is "baroness". Although it might look French, it isn't. The French word has always been "baronne". --2001:16B8:3124:F900:E2:9D2C:A061:4CE4 (talk) 11:48, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
