Adraeus' thoughts
- Honorific titles should not be prefixed to a subject's name; however, honorific titles should be discussed later in an article (or the introduction). Example:
- Joseph Alois Ratzinger, now known as Benedict XVI, is the apostolic monarch of Vatican City and acquired the title His Holiness... on April 19, 2005.
- If honorific titles are allowed to be prefixed to a subject's name, there should be no problem with:
- Dear Leader Kim Jong-il, chairman of North Korea... Adraeus 08:34, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
