Dear UK experts: This abandoned AfC submission will soon be deleted as a stale draft. Is this a notable topic, and should the page be kept and improved instead? —Anne Delong (talk)

Hi there - an article that I created (Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice) is in need of an update/overhaul re new information. If anyone is interested in this topic area I would greatly appreciate some more eyes on this. 82.23.242.26 (talk) 18:06, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Quick help needed!

Hello! On this note: Martin Conway, 1st Baron Conway of Allington#cite note-12, the "column" parameter should be added, but I don't have access to the archives to see which column it is in. Could someone check and add it? Thanks! BhamBoi (talk) 00:20, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Prince Charles or Charles III??

On Wikipedia, when referring to Charles III before he became king, should he be referred to as Charles III or Prince Charles, because a lot of articles still refer to him as "Prince Charles" and on today's featured article, I changed "Prince Charles" to "Charles III" but it got changed back.

What about "Charles III, when Prince Charles"?--Bduke (talk) 11:41, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
do you mean "Charles III, then Prince Charles" GoldenBootWizard276 (talk) 11:46, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Possibly the query is inspired by my decision for today's TFA blurb? I write a lot of history articles and it is accepted that figures are referred to by the title they held at the time being referred to - possibly with a parenthetical or foot note. Given how recent Charles' elevation was it seemed worth adding the in line mention - "formally opened by the then Prince Charles". Reconsidering, it still seems a sensible approach, in context.

I think Charles III, then Prince of Wales is best. GoldenBootWizard276 (talk) 16:14, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
