“ Thatcher is nonetheless viewed favourably in historical rankings and public opinion of British prime ministers”. This is not true and there is no source evidencing this claim (and should be removed). Margaret Thatcher is viewed as either being great or horrible and you cannot average this out. Though this is reflected later and in other parts of the page, this line is inaccurate. Pavify (talk) 16:31, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Margaret Thatcher's name
I tried correcting Margaret Thatcher's name in the infobox to "Margaret Thatcher" as someone had set it to "The Baroness Thatcher", but this was reverted. I'm pretty sure her first name isn't "The". According to the template documentation at infobox person, the name parameter is for "Common name of person", not their title. Nosferattus (talk) 21:23, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Perhaps these infobox templates need an honorific_prefix_2 parameter. What is your take on this situation, Right Honourable Sir Neveselbert? I took a look at Manual of Style/Biography and it says "In general, honorific prefixes and suffixes should not be included, but may be discussed in the article." However, it does make an exception for including Sir, Dame, Lord and Lady in infoboxes (without explaining why). Nosferattus (talk) 22:14, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
 * You didn't correct anything. Her title was The Baroness Thatcher; see https://members.parliament.uk/member/953/career. &#8209;&#8209;Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 17:04, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
 * That page says "Her full title was The Rt Hon. the Baroness Thatcher LG OM. Her name was Margaret Hilda Thatcher." The name parameter, as I'm sure you know, is for a person's name, not their title. What am I missing here? Nosferattus (talk) 21:19, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Do you still object to changing the name parameter to "Margaret Thatcher"? Nosferattus (talk) 01:00, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes. It's standard across infoboxes of all articles for British peers to use their name in the peerage. &#8209;&#8209;Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 20:09, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
 * If put to an RfC, I expect the wider community would not support highlighting this much less globally known title in the infobox. Past sentiment to that effect can be found here and here. Hameltion (talk &#124; contribs) 16:06, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
