Article Name

[edit]

Why is the article named "Wallis Simpson" and not "Wallis, Duchess of Windsor"? She was married to Ernest Simpson for 9 years, and to the Duke of Windsor for 35 years. She resumed her maiden name after her divorce from Simpson. ThreeOfCups (talk)

Per WP:CONSORTS, courtesy titles are only used by living or recently decease subjects, other than that they should revert back to their common name before the courtesy title. Most sources refer to her as Simpson rather than Warfield. --Shivertimbers433 (talk) 23:19, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also user-generated. What are you doing? Remsense 10:02, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Remsense what are you adding? 3MRB1 (talk) 10:05, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There's nothing else to add, because there's one well-defined reason these sources shouldn't be in the article. All we can do is attempt to make the same point in different ways. Remsense 10:15, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Remsense you were thoughtlessly undoing my edits which were removals thus adding back, so you don't know what you are doing 3MRB1 (talk) 10:22, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

quote typo?

[edit]

World War II section, the quote from the letter to her aunt about the local population - did she mistakenly use the word "thriving" rather than thieving? If so, a "(sic)" notation should be added to make this clear, as it's a nonsensical word choice in context and has the appearance of a typo without it. 2601:445:801:8520:4952:FDAD:33FC:3A67 (talk) 14:41, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
