The piece on Wilson and his titles has no doubt been worked on by someone who understands the arcane operation of UK forms of address far better than I do. Still, I'd like to know why -- according to this account -- it only became appropriate to address him with PC (Privy Council) after his name at the time he received his peerage. UK politicians are typically "sworn of the Privy Council" at the time they enter the Cabinet. Help, please, Miss Manners! [[User:Nandt1|Nandt1]] ([[User talk:Nandt1|talk]]) 02:32, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
:In very quick terms, barons, viscounts and earls are automatically Right Honourable, so if they are also members of the Privy Council they are giving a suffix of PC to distinguish them from barons, viscounts and earls who are not members of the Privy Council. And incidentally, it is not strictly true about being sworn when they enter cabinet, there are a number of exceptions [[User:Whitstable|<fontspan colorstyle="color:crimson;">'''Whit'''</fontspan>]][[User talk:Whitstable|<fontspan colorstyle="color:green;">'''stable'''</fontspan>]] 02:37, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 
==Partial reversion on introductory treatment of Wilson's approach to socialism==

I was made aware of this towards the end of a debate on one page and it seemed to me to settle the issue so I tidied up the modern UK Prime Ministers to conform with it. I'm nor really surprised that Irvine22 went on a revert spree, he has a pattern of disruptive editing (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User%3AIrvine22 here] and a recording of picking up a minor theme and running it over many pages (for example labeling any Irishperson born in England as English, even a Provisional IRA commander). More recently he has move this campaign to the Welsh from the Irish including edit warring on [[Dave Snowden|my own article]] on Wikipedia. His pattern of editing is to push to the limits of tolerance with the community, then back off with either an enforced or a voluntary withdrawal from editing for a period before he returns to start all over again.
I will also post a notice at the talk page of [[WP:UKPLACE]] but pending a change of policy agreed by the community at that location Irvine22's recent edits should be reverted. --[[User:Snowded|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#801818"; face="font-family:Papyrus;">'''Snowded'''</fontspan>]] <small><sup>[[User talk:Snowded#top|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#708090"; face="font-family:Baskerville;">TALK</fontspan>]]</sup></small> 07:15, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
