→To "Sir" or not to "Sir": You have no real argument
::::: Yes, I'd expect the Encyclopedia Britannica to use "Sir" as it pretends to be a British encyclopedia. This example should be added to the list of biases in Wikipedia. I tried another name in the Columbia Encyclopedia, Elton John, [http://www.bartleby.com/65/jo/John-Elt.html] and it does ''not'' use "Sir". It only says, "He was knighted in 1997."

::::: Sir may be a higher title than Dr, but how do you know it hasn't been bought? I don't know much about British titles, but I would assume that many or most of those titles were given out for political and other reasons. [[User:RSchlafly|RSchlafly]] 21:03, 6 July 2007 (EDT)

::::::If anything Britannica is a British Encyclopedia pretending to be an American encyclopedia. And what is biased about Wikipedia showing Newton by his correct title?
::::::Most of your arguments have been shown to be wrong, so you now resort to a "how do you know" type of argument and state an assumption about the subject, whilst in the same sentence acknowledging your ignorance of the subject!
::::::You've failed to provide an adequate arguments, so I'm putting his title back in.
