Hi, I see that you have renamed Bernard Freyberg to Bernard Cyril Freyberg, 1st Baron of Wellington and Munstead.

You probably didn't know that this goes against the naming convention established for Wikipedia. Wikipedia:Naming conventions (names and titles) in the section Other Non-royal names point 5 says

5. Life peers (ie, people who have peerages awarded exclusively for their lifetime but who neither inherit it nor pass it on to anyone else)1 are generally mentioned by their personal name not title, because among other reasons a life peerage is often awarded at the end of a career, while the individual holding them may be far more widely known though their personal name, so use George Robertson, not Lord Robertson.

As Bernard Freyberg is a life peer so should be refered to as Bernard Freyberg because this is what he is commonly known for most of his life.

Hello there, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need pointers on how we title pages visit Wikipedia:Naming conventions or how to format them visit our manual of style. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. Cheers! --maveric149
