A bold proposal
editGiven the discussion here and the general support for moving the article to a more descriptive and accurate title, would anyone object if I moved the article to List of barons in the peerages of the British Isles with a redirect from List of barons? I'm going to propose this for the other peerage pages, as well. Fishhead64 20:44, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
Honkin' big revert
editHas anyone noticed the stuff at the bottom of the page? "Baron Scherf" et al? These edits go back to early May without challenge, and have switched back and forth with all sorts of ludicrous names. Just to be sure, I searched the 10 Downing street website for a life peer named "Scherf" - no such luck. These entries (among others) seem to be put in by a prankster user. I'm reverting back to May: every edit seems to be vandalism or a revert (except for two, which I will repair). --SigPig 10:55, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
Citation needed
editThe two notes on Decies and Fermoy are a reminder to check whether or not they have precedence over the other peerage of the same year or not.
I plan to disentangle the Irish and UK peerage, precisely as done for higher grades of the peerage; it might be a good idea, for manageability, to divide the life peers from the hereditary peerage. While life peers created before 1965 rank hereditary barons of that date, how many of those survive? Septentrionalis PMAnderson 20:58, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Hello, my friends: A group of us are working on clearing the backlog at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Articles_lacking_sources_from_October_2006. The article in the above header has been without sources for the past four years and might be removed if none are added. I wonder if you can help find one or two good references. Sincerely, and all the best to you, GeorgeLouis (talk) 19:11, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
Duplicate?
editIs there any difference between List of living life peers and the similar section of this list in terms of coverage? There does not appear to be any. Waltham, The Duke of 14:47, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
Lord Dingwall
editI feel that the existence of this peerage should be noted among the Lordships of Parliament, even though the holder has an English peerage (barony) of the same degree. Alekksandr (talk) 22:31, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
- Now done. Alekksandr (talk) 19:40, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
Maybe the two surviving baronies Strange ought to be, I dunno, listed separately? —Tamfang (talk) 23:46, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
which arms
editI'm adding coats of arms from the titles' respective articles, and finding a problem: which coat to choose? That of the first grantee? The present holder? Some articles (e.g. Baron Dacre) show neither the first nor the last but a couple between! —Tamfang (talk) 23:56, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
- Tamfang, I think that there should be coats of arms of present holders, because this is a list of current barons (and not a list of baronies, which are in separate lists). --Editor FIN (talk) 16:19, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Good point. —Tamfang (talk) 19:24, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
