[edit] Viscount Linley

The forms of address page lists how peers (and courtesy peers) are referred to in writing in formal circumstances, such as on the outside of envelopes. The courtesy title page similarly tells how peers and courtesy peers are generally referred to if their whole title is given; however, both "actual" and courtesy marquesses, earls, viscounts, and barons can be and commonly are referred to as "Lord X," both orally and in writing. The Marquess of Winchester can also be called simply Lord Winchester, and the (courtesy) Marquess of Blandford can also be called simply Lord Blandford. These forms are commonly used by the British government, the media, and Wikipedia. Indeed, on Wikipedia peers (or courtesy peers) below the rank of duke are always referred to as "Lord X," except in circumstances where there must be clarity about which "Lord X" is being discussed (non-contemperaneous references, family relationships, and obviously article titles, among others). If you have any doubts about this, please consult Wikipedia:WikiProject Peerage. I also think showing Linley's place in the line of succession at the time of his birth adds some perspective to his seeming unimportance-- fifth in line is rather high, that's higher than either Prince Edward or Princess Anne currently.
