Peter Fraser (New Zealand politician) → Peter Fraser – He was a national leader during World War II and is certainly the most notable figure with this name. This article received 1,515 views over the last 30 days, which is nearly twice as many as all other namesake articles combined [1]. Hazhk ( talk) 21:20, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
So, there has been some toing and froing regarding photo arrangement. I suggested a discussion here after an edit I made, but an anonymous user reverted instead before a discussion. The edits are coming from anonymous users so I'm not sure if the edits are from a single person or not.
Anyway, my thoughts are that this photo is more befitting as it depicts Fraser during his tenure as Prime Minister and is the "iconic" image of him, used on the cover of two biographies of him. I concede that the second point is somewhat subjective, but the first is definitely in line with MOS:LEADIMAGE "Lead images should be natural and appropriate representations of the topic; they should not only illustrate the topic specifically, but also be the type of image used for similar purposes in high-quality reference works, and therefore what our readers will expect to see." Whereas this photo depicts Fraser in 1929, long before his career zenith. What do others think? Kiwichris ( talk) 05:29, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
In the main text body, his title is "Peter Fraser, CH PC". Now whilst there are no rules in real life about titles, and a person may style oneself as he wants, there are still conventions on how one should style himself. In particular, debbrets ( https://www.debretts.com/expertise/forms-of-address/letters-after-the-name/) says that the postnominal letter "PC" should only be used with a peer in the privy council, as non-peers will just use "the right honourable", so the "PC" should be omitted.
