Talk:Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II turns 80

"Her Majesty"

what's the wikinews style guidelines on the use of honorifics? 'pedia says[1], in Manual of Style (biographies):

Quote

---

Styles shall not be used to open articles on royalty and popes. Thus the article on Pope Benedict XVI shall not begin "His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI . . . " nor the article on Queen Victoria begin "Her Majesty Queen Victoria . . ." They should, however, be discussed in the article proper.

This would be just another birthday were Elizabeth Windsor anyone other than the Elizabeth II, the Queen woman... Title is fine. --Chiacomo ^(talk) 23:27, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

The Wikinews style guide says

Wikinews honors the protocol common in the country of origin of the royalty mentioned. British: royalty and anointed positions: use title plus first name, eg "Lady Catherine", "Prince Charles"

I'm fine with the title of the article, but to play the devil's advocate -- the "honorific" part of the title is "Her Majesty".. :D --Chiacomo ^(talk) 23:48, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
