Manual of Style[edit]

We only use Surnames in articles, so we wouldn't put "retired General". --Cameron Scott (talk) 11:57, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what is difficult to understand? Our Manual of style says we only use Surnames. Is there something difficult to understand in that? --Cameron Scott (talk) 12:00, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We also don't put in titles, so we acknowledge in the lead that he is a general but then it is "Bell" only from there outwards not "General Bell". --Cameron Scott (talk) 12:03, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
