Talk:Megan Ellis, QC
Post-nominal initials[edit]
I have moved Megan's profile page to one without the QC designation. I think post-nominal initials clutter and confuse the convention for page names (for one thing, introducing a comma into the page name creates a very odd looking URL, and it is not a character we use elsewhere for page titles). While I am all for crediting our contributors with any QC designations they hold, we should restrict this to instances within wiki pages or the printed book, and not in the page name itself. Wikipedia does not use post-nominal initials in anyone's page name: not for Beverly McLachlin (who would otherwise be Beverley McLachlin, PC), not for Edward Greenspan (otherwise Edward Greendpan, QC); and certainly not for Winston Churchill (otherwise Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, KG, OM, CH, TD, DL, FRS, Hon. RA) or Alfred Denning (who would otherwise be Alfred Thompson "Tom" Denning, Baron Denning, OM, PC, DL, KC).
Within a bio, the masthead, the bottom of pages they have reviewed, or anywhere else, certainly we would include the QC. But how about we stick to the brevity and sensibility of uncluttered page names? --Nate Russell (talk) 12:05, 13 June 2013 (PDT)
