Talk:Earl of Wemyss

de jure (I do not think that word means what this article seems to think it means)
If the law says that a title is forfeit and cannot be inherited, the heir to that forfeited title cannot possibly be the de jure earl, can he? Because it is precisely de jure that he is not the heir. I think the word we're looking for is "self-styled," but then the whole numbering of everything in this article is kind of screwed up. john k (talk) 21:34, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Earl of Wemyss and March → Earl of Wemyss – Peerages of equal rank with individual histories usually have separate articles even if they are currently held by the same person, e.g. Earl of Lindsey and Earl of Abingdon or Duke of Richmond, Duke of Gordon, and Duke of Lennox. The convention in these cases is generally for each page title to refer to a single peerage, with links to the pages about the other peerages. In this case the page title should be 'Earl of Wemyss', including the history of the earldom of March after 1823 and a link to Earl of March for the previous history of the title A.D.Hope (talk) 18:05, 18 August 2021 (UTC) — Relisting.

 * Support, the current title implies that they are a single title, when that is not the case.2601:241:300:B610:ED19:73A5:40E:5FA8 (talk) 01:24, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
