Could somebody please correct Mrs Thatcher's name at the beginning of this article (as it can't be edited)? Her correct name is "Margaret Hilda Thatcher", not "Margaret Hilda Roberts Thatcher". British women don't normally use their maiden names before their married surnames. -- [[User:Emmeline|Emmeline]]

:I have made this point before. The official justification for the form of name is that it corresponds with American practice. As I have argued, however, this logic would imply that (for example) Mao Zedong should become "Zedong Mao", and that a South American Conservapedia should turn Margaret Thatcher into "Margaret Roberts de Thatcher", which seems very strange to me.
