You say how it is pronounced in France, but how about in the United States?? 66.245.107.126 19:30, 22 May 2004 (UTC)Reply

Uh, they're towns in FRANCE. I think you already know how Americans say "Percy." The point is how they're pronounced by the people who live there. Moncrief 19:31, May 22, 2004 (UTC)

House of Percy

[edit]

All the names should be listed in a a separate article, called House of Percy, which can have a list in one section. It seems a number of articles are link to this disambig page for the family. Given so many notable members of it, the family as a whole would presumably warrant its own article. Currently its a redirect to Earl of Northumberland, which seems somewhat arbitrary. I'm hoping a history buff can do this, rather then me. --Rob 21:11, 21 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Inclusion of Percy Bysshe Shelley

[edit]

My initial intent was to remove Shelley as an example altogether since his sobriquet is a bit confusing in its provenance; he lacked the kind of renown during his short life that would have seen him referred to as anything but Percy Shelley, save those who knew him personally. One solution might be to note this in the lead-in summary, but this sort of Wikipedian honor seems misplaced. There is no similar bio box on the page for Lord Byron on the Byron (disambiguation) page, is there? I did not perform an extensive review of the editing history, but my suspicion is that he is here for what I did remove, that being the biographical date point of his gender; it was bizarrely listed as "primarily male" which comports neither with historical consensus, understandings of gender during the Romantic Period in England, understanding of what "Free Love" meant to Shelley, nor via Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Biography#Gender_identity. gregmark (talk) 23:38, 22 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
