Marquess of Bristol edit
An unlogged in editor keeps using inappropriate styles for the names of ambassadors and has done it with the 5th Marquess of Bristol. The practice is to list the name that the person used at the time when they held an appointment. However the article will almost invariably be in the style that he held at death. This unlogged in editor is doing valuable work in identifying ambassodors who subsequently inherited. Accordingly the form used should be:
- [[Sir Edmund Monson, 3rd Baronet|Edmund St John Debonnaire John Monson]] and
- [[Herbert Hervey, 5th Marquess of Bristol|Lord Herbert Arthur Robert Hervey]]
This are shown here with "nowiki" tags so that you can see the format. I also complained about the way in which you had messed up the names on the list of Russian ambassadors. You had linked the Monson diplomats to the article on the baronetcy; this was better but still not right: the correct course was the convert the name in that article into a redlink by adding [[]] around the name and then use the same style in piping the name (as above).
