Epitaph...
editI've seen his epitaph cited as "Here lies Lord Berners / One of the learners / His great love of learning / May earn him a burning / But praise to the lord / He seldom was bored" (Faringdon Online community website). Does anyone know which version is correct? talkGiler 13:59, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
That is indeed the version quoted in The New Grove Dictionary of Music & Musicians, ed. Stanley Sadie, 1980 Article on Lord Berners in vol 2. Hikitsurisan (talk) 16:40, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
"Rome from 1939 to 1945"
edit... "found himself somewhat out of favour".
To the author of the article, and to myself as well, the meaning of that is crystal clear.
I assume the author intended there to be two chortles in that sentence, and I chortled twice.
But in a general interest encyclopedia, with some theoretical teenage readership, should we be spelling that out more explicitly?
I'm not going to change it since it works perfectly for me right now.

Article title
editI have reverted an undiscussed move of this page, both per WP:COMMONNAME and per previous discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Composers/Archive_37#Michael_Berkeley. The previous discussion was admittedly brief but there seems no reason to go against our usual naming convention. This composer is almost always known, both formally and informally, as "Lord Berners". --Deskford (talk) 20:59, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
- Almost every peer is known as "Lord Wotsit", but that's not generally how we title articles on them. Please explain why this individual should be an exception to our naming conventions clearly enumerated at WP:NCPEER. There are exceptions, but this individual certainly isn't in the league of Lord Tennyson or Lord Byron, since unlike them most people will never have heard of him. There was certainly no consensus for this title. You suggested it and someone else agreed with you - that's not a consensus! -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:53, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
- There should be a VERY high bar for using "Lord X" as an article title for any individual when there have been multiple Lords X.12.144.5.2 (talk) 05:16, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
