→To "Sir" or not to "Sir"
: The article already says Newton got knighted. The title is meaningless to anyone outside England. Newton is in CP for his scientific and mathematical accomplishments, not for holding some silly title. To put "Sir" on his name would be like putting "Herr Doctor Professor" on the names of German scientists. Actually it would be worse. Please don't put "Sir" back in. You can boldface the name if you wish. [[User:RSchlafly|RSchlafly]] 22:28, 5 July 2007 (EDT)

::''The title is meaningless to anyone outside England.'' I disagree; lots of educated people around the world understand such titles. ''Newton is in CP for his scientific and mathematical accomplishments, not for holding some silly title.'' Why is the title silly? If I had done the work he did, I'd be quite happy to be honored in that way, especially if no one before me had been honored for scientific/mathematical work. It must have been a huge honor for him. --[[User:Hsmom|Hsmom]] 23:03, 5 July 2007 (EDT)
