message: 193.82.155.28 has made numerous idiosyncratic edits ...
* opposition to abortion → opposition of abortion
** "Opposition of X" sounds to me like a synonym of "opposition by X".
* His wife Mary is descended from a sister of King George III, and is thus in the line of succession to the British throne. → removed thus
** Removing thus makes the two facts seem unrelated.
* Sir Neville Leigh KCVO → Sir Neville Leigh KCVO
** Linking Sir is overlinking in violation of policy, as well as redundant given the nearby link to Royal Victorian Order.  Meanwhile, the late Sir Neville seems a likely candidate for a future article.
* An ardent supporter of Margaret Thatcher → An arch supporter of Margaret Thatcher
** arch (adj.) has at least two meanings, and the one intended ought to have a hyphen.  Was he indeed one of her principal supporters?
* Number 10 Downing Street → Number 10 Downing Street
** Why?! That's just weird.
* As such, Leigh was recently offered but rejected the HM Ambassadorship to the Holy See, presumably because it could be just a short-term appointment.
** As what? As President of the Cornerstone Group? It's not obvious how that follows.
** Majesty is irrelevant here; more overlinking.
** Someone please tell me "the HM Ambassadorship" is not standard usage in Westminster...
** We don't presume to read his mind.
* thePeerage.com
* Debrett's People of Today
** Pointless links to the front pages of these sites, which I've already deleted once on this article and numerous others, inviting links to relevant pages.  193.82.155.28 did replace a third analogous link with a better one.
Also, a bunch of new links will need disambiguating. —Tamfang (talk) 08:04, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
