The reference from a popular newspaper suggests that this is the family of John von Spreckelsen, former MD of Budgens, later CEO of Somerfeld, and later again Exec Chair of Thorntons, of Surrey and Galloway - but it uses the title Baron for the gentleman. Please don't import this wrong usage into this article. Most people with von in their German names have some aristocratic descent, and may use, for example, Freiherr in German - but these Holy Roman Empire (or successor) titles were ended in both Austria and Germany before 1920. Further, even if you accept the rough equivalence of Freiherr and Baron, these titles can be claimed in some sense by all descendants, not being bound as tightly as British and Irish titles, so this is, not meaningful, and at best gauche, like an honorary doctorate holder calling themselves "Dr x."

Hi editors-of-Wikipedia, it's nice to see a good article on such an active person. I wonder has someone considered a Do You Know, either as Ireland's first female publishing industry leader, or for the 28 years of Cill Rialaig leadership, with nearly 5000 artists helped. One more thing, her nickname in the 1980s was "Razor-Sharp" if that's considered quotable. 83.220.238.215 (talk) 08:14, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I’m just one of many editors but thank the passing reader, and will consider a Did You Know nomination. Twilson r (talk) 17:33, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominated and assessed.
Preliminary transfer to Approved page is made.
Now under consideration for staging, queueing and posting.83.220.239.252 (talk) 09:31, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I thank all involved in the review, approval and all the processes that came after, as well as those who improved the article in recent days. I note that it did experience many hundreds of views, very good given that it ran from the middle of the night to noon Irish time, where the biggest audience would be, and I hope people found it interesting, and maybe some are even artists or travellers to Ireland who would explore on to the Cill Rialaig article. I will continue to seek new sources so I can also add. Twilson r (talk) 06:35, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
