Hi, and as I see you are still in the 30-something edit range, I add my welcome to the above, and can only say that we always have plenty for editors to do. That said, you might need to hold off on the peerage-related edits. There are many related articles, and you seem to have an opinion which diverges from the consensus on these matters, and which would require debate before continuing wide actions. It is not in dispute that the Irish Constitution does not give any substantive recognition to the old titles, and puts a condition on the acceptance of new titles (there are distinctions between peerages, knighthoods and baronetcies vs post-nominal awards such as MBEs / OBEs) but this has never been interpreted as barring the succession, for those who wish, of peerages, and said succession has continued through the life of our republic. What people make of them, including whether some think them an affectation, is not our business in the encyclopedia (though a well-referenced section on it in the relevant general article could work) - their existence is a fact. Further editing on non-factual / opinion-driven lines without strong supporting sources would be disruptive. SeoR ( talk) 23:09, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
