editEdward Macnaghten was not responsible for the Macnaghten Rules of Insanity, but Daniel McNaughten was. See M'Naghten's_Case
If I get no further comments of this I will remove the "Insanity" line from the article.
Postnominal
editPerhaps I have expressed myself badly. At Wikipedia, we don't use a postnominal for a baronetcy with peers, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Peerage#Content (under Notes). In all other cases it is of course written out in the intro. ~~ Phoe talk 18:32, 6 February 2007 (UTC) ~~
- I have not yet looked at the guidelines but shall do. I understand while the prefix (Sir) is not used but see not reason why the post-nominal bart. shouldn't be. --Couter-revolutionary 18:45, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
- I don't know the specific reason, but one I see, is that many peers have a bundle of postnominals and therefore the not absolutely necessary ones are left out to avoid postnominal-monsters. And if we do not use it at some, then we should not use it also at everyone. If you want to know it exactly, you should ask perhaps on Wikipedia:WikiProject Peerage or Wikipedia:WikiProject Baronetcies. Greetings ~~ Phoe talk 19:51, 6 February 2007 (UTC) ~~
- It's a slightly unhelpful answer but its one of those - that's just the way it is answers. There is no 'rule' it is simply convention that peers don't. I've seen a variety of reasons posited which are plausible enough. You can find any number of examples to backup the point pick a random monument to a famous baronet and peer like [1] Alci12 11:53, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
