Talk:Mrs. David Wright's Guard

Prudence Wright's Guard
David Wright asppears to have had nothing to do with it, so shouldn't it be referred to as Prudence Wright's Guard instead of Mrs. David's? T bonham (talk) 00:50, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree, but what was the unit called at the time?--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 01:27, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Note that all of the sources apart from Bell & Crow refer to the unit as "Mrs David Wright's Guard", Bell & Crow use "Prudence Wright's Guard". I suspect the sources reflect the naming conventions of the time.  WP convention is for the article to reflect the consensus of the sources - which it does at present.  It is not up to us to correct perceived wrongs - Dumelow (talk) 07:28, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Is there a reason why it is "Mrs" instead of "Mrs."? Normal grammatical convention would call for a period in the abbreviation. Can it be changed? —Dilidor (talk) 10:11, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Dilidor. It's my fault for being British, the full stop (period) isn't used in British English but I see our article says it is in American English.  I'll move the article and make the changes in the DYK section - Dumelow (talk) 10:15, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much, Dumelow. I know it's a silly thing, but now I will sleep better tonight. And you are forgiven for being British. —Dilidor (talk) 10:19, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
