Hi Flibirigit, I'll do a full review later but just wanted to make an initial comment. In British usage knights are not considered members of the peerage and are included in "the commons". The quote from the source used is "first of the CPR presidents not to be listed in Burke's Peerage". The formal title of the work is "Burke's Peerage, Baronetage and Knightage" which does include knights. Suggest the article and hook are amended to "first person not to be listed in Burke's Peerage" or similar. You could also use the nickname "the Great Commoner" which is used by the source - Dumelow (talk) 09:07, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
- I am aware of the comment above. I am busy in real life and do not expect to be online much if for a few days. Thank you in advance for understanding. Flibirigit (talk) 00:22, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

- I need to make some adjustments to the CPR war time contributions. Hopefully I will get around to it later tomorrow. Flibirigit (talk) 18:39, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
