[edit] Postnominals
I disagree with the FRS post-nominal. This is context-dependent, just as BA, MA, PhD, MD, JP, etc are context-dependent. It is usual, in my experience of encyclopedias, to show only PNLs that relate to honours and awards, not those that relate to educational attainment or membership of learned societies. If this were not so, certain persons would have very long lists of PNLs indeed. Attlee's fellowship of the Royal Society, and the circumstances of this, should be mentioned in the text.

- Hmm. Not sure. That someone is an FRS is an important reflection on their character overall, and is worthy of note. So... Hmm. Thoughts?

I agree with Jack (for once). Adam 05:15, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Now come on, Adam, be nice. JackofOz 22:34, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I think it IS given as an honour or award though. It is conferred by election, not exam or occupation making it quite differnt from the other examples listed above. Hence I think it should be there. Also Margaret Thatcher has her FRS listed so if we think they shouldn't be there we should remove it there.A Geek Tragedy 15:45, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
- In fact now I think about it a bit more the "honours and awards only arguement" should take away PC rather than FRS since being made a cabinet minister makes one a privy councillor A Geek Tragedy 15:52, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re-edit
In addition to adding some material, I have taken the liberty of re-editing part of the article, in order to clean up the chronology and avoid unnecessary duplication. Nothing has been omitted.

[edit] Evaluation
Can someone say what, exactly, is objected to here? The evaluation is not particularly opinionated, and large parts of it are referenced.
--Train guard 11:14, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- Given that no one has put forward any reason why they think the section is not NPOV as required by the notice, I am removing it. Dabbler 14:41, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Again, someone has seen fit to challenge the neutrality of this section. Why?

[edit] Name
Does anyone know why his name is sometimes spelt Atlee? Is this just a mistake? If you type clement atlee in wikipedia you are redirected to attlees page--Ruddyell 17:50, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
- said; "where he was badly wounded at El Hanna" what's El Hanna ?
