Should this not be moved to Charles Napier (admiral)? Brendandh 16:13, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Don't see the point. Obviously he wasn't an admiral all his career, and many of his exploits were performed before he attained that rank. The more general 'Naval officer' seems appropriate to me.Cenedi 21:30, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- Isn't it normal in Bio articles to give a dead subject his more senior title? E.g. No King or Queen were Kings and Queens for all their careers either, yet are always referred to as such. This article should at least be entitled Sir Charles Napier, so by dissociating him from Charles James Napier, (also a Knight) his cousin and General officer in the army. Although I have done it myself in earlier articles, it seems that the use of information in parentheses in the title, should be reserved for the main article or info on a disambig page.
