Conflict of interest[edit]
If you are the subject of the article which you have been editing, you ought to read the guidance on conflict of interest. --David Biddulph (talk) 16:28, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
Managing a conflict of interest[edit]
Hello, PFRic. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Peter Ricketts, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Longhair\talk 09:50, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
The Right Honourable[edit]
As noted on our page for it:
Peers below the rank of marquess,[1][2] i.e. earls,[3] viscounts[4] and barons.[5]
All peers below the rank of marquess use the style of The Right Honourable, not just privy council members. Robin S. Taylor (talk) 10:15, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
Peter Ricketts[edit]
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing.
You have been told many times that the style of The Right Honourable is for all barons, not just privy counsellors. Your account seems to exist only to take that style away from Lord Rickett's page. Robin S. Taylor (talk) 21:48, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

The style is also taken by Privy Counsellors, Peers below the rank of Marquess (which includes ladies who are Peers in their own right), the Lord Mayors of London and York and the Lord Provost of Edinburgh by ancient prescriptive usage.
