Hale[edit]

Substantive male life peers are styled "The Right Honourable The Lord XXXX", and substantive female life peers as "The Right Honourable The Baroness XXXX". "The Right Honourable The Lady XXXX" is generally only used for wives of barons (or maybe Scottish Ladies of Parliament). This does not apply to later female Supreme Court justices (such as Jill Black) for are not ennobled as Hale was, only given courtesy titles.

As for the photograph, I thought it would be better to use one that was upright rather than at a Dutch angle. Robin S. Taylor (talk) 19:15, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that clarification. I see the logic. In legal circles, she is generally known as Lady Hale; see OSCOLA, 2.1.7.[1]. If there is a practice of referring to female peers by their specific title, to indicate they have the title themselves rather than via their spouse, then I see that will take precedence.

DS Alerts[edit]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date. You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

October 2020[edit]

Hello, I'm Pigsonthewing. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you unlinked one or more redlinks from Sandister Tei. Often redlinks can be helpful, so we don't remove them just because they are red. They help improve Wikipedia by attracting editors to create needed articles.

In addition, clicking on the "What links here" special link (in the Wikipedia Toolbox at left) on a missing article shows how many—and which—articles depend on that article being created. This can help prioritize article creation. Redlinks are useful! Please only remove a redlink if you are pretty sure that it is to a non-notable topic and not likely ever to be created. Thanks!
