Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was moved to William Fitzwilliam, 4th Earl Fitzwilliam to correct capitalization; I'll move the other articles for this family as well, as I could find no sources that included the capital W. Aervanath (talk) 05:04, 12 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

William FitzWilliam, 4th Earl FitzWilliam → William Fitzwilliam, 4th Earl Fitzwilliam — No outside comments after several days; relisting. Dekimasuよ! 23:57, 3 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Incorrect capitalisation. The biography of Fitzwilliam by E. A. Smith (Manchester University Press, 1975) and the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography both have a lower case "w" in the name "Fitzwilliam". — Johnbull (talk) 14:20, 25 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
