Wikipedia style usually does not include a title as part of the article title. Charles Pinckney was distinguished from later descendants by his title as a militia colonel (just as his son is given the dab qualifier "governor"), but "Colonel" was not his proper name. To be consistent with other articles, I propose that this article be moved to the following title: "Charles Pinckney (colonel)".Parkwells (talk) 18:20, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Came up with another solution, that is consistent with practice of not using titles, but accepts practice and shows "Colonel" is not part of his given name.Parkwells (talk) 14:01, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
