This article has been renamed after the result of a move request. violet/riga (t) 10:37, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
An inappropriate renaming. He was a Count, in Austria, and a viscount, in British system. We have the naming rule that the most senior title is used. Therefore I have to doubt the reasoning of those who made that move. Additionally, he happened to live and work in Austria, which should have indicated that Austrian titulary should not be overlooked in favor of British. What could have been motivation to this sort of "British imperialism", to dub all and sundry with british titles. Arrigo 22:25, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
