The meta question being, does it matter to the overall quality of Wikipedia that they're inconsistent? These are the ones I came across casually:

Without Swami:

Perhaps I am missing one of core Wikipedia guidelines, but someone could help me with a specific confusion I have. Whereas I see "King" and "Queen" appear before names for Western monarchs, why is "Maharaja" or "Maharani" supposed to be "questioned"? Rustyshackelford (talk) 16:46, 31 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
