See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS:HONORIFIC and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:PBUH for the English Wikipedia's guidelines. Any discussion about changing the guidelines, should start at the guideline's talkpages. Any articles which don't currently follow the recommended style, can be updated. Hope that helps. - Quiddity _______________________________________________ Wikipedia-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikipedia-l
