It looks like User:Nunh-huh, User:Hansnesse and I all had the same idea to look at the Burke's Peerage page after reviewing the Earl of Stirling debacle. I know my rewrite is a big change but I hope you will give it a chance. I spent some time getting verifed sources through Lexis/Nexis so I could tell the story of both Burke's Peerage and Gentry (publisher of the real Burke's Peerage) and Burke's Peerage Ltd, publishers of, well, whatever you want to call it. I feel it is important to put both companies in the article since many people who search for Burke's will not know the history and may not even know which they really want. I also think the Brooks-Baker angle with selling titles is an interesting tie-in to the Stirling story and I ran into further newspaper articles about legal issues with selling titles that will have bearing if Mr. Alexander decides to show up again. Hope you find this revision acceptable. Thatcher131 06:56, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
