Talk:Aqueduct of Valens

Deprecated honorifics
Please do not add unnecessary puffery to the article. No-one in English uses "Emperor" as a title like that, and neither should we in Wikipedia, seeing as MOS:HON forbids such extraneous verbiage. "President X", "King Y", "Emperor Z", are not to be used, and violate the normal laws of English grammar in any case, as well as looking fussy and archaic.

 * Note that the examples given are defective; neither the articles on Elizabeth II nor Richard Nixon refer to either subject as "Queen Elizabeth" or "President Nixon". Unless cogent reasons are provided for this peculiar "Emperor Valens" form (etc.) and justification for exemptions to the MOS:HONORIFIC policy, which prohibits such extraneous puffery, the latest additions of non-idiomatic English should be removed, as they are both against policy and against consensus.
