Q: Why can I not add "Shri", "Chhatrapati", or "Maharaj" to Shivaji's name?
A: As per
WP:Honorifics and
WP:Commonname, in
Wikipedia, we refer to people by their commonly used name in the
cited academic sources. We do not include titles or
Honorifics unless they are commonly used in the cited sources (Shivaji does not fall in this category). Please note
Charles III, where he is referred to as "Charles" throughout, not "King Charles" nor "His Royal Highness" or whatnot. We clearly note Shivaji's titles in the article, we just don't repeat them each time his name is written. Please refer to
this talk discussion for more details.
