The lede currently offers inaccurate information pertaining to years of succession. User:Tryde states that it is "nonsensical, grammatically incorrect and gives the wrong information." I concur and offer the following proposed rewrite for your review. Cindamuse (talk) 09:30, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
In 1631, upon his father's death, Anthony Ashley-Cooper succeeded his father as 2nd Baronet of Rockbourne. In 1661, he was created Earl of Shaftesbury. At the same time, he was made Baron Ashley of Wimborne St Giles, in the County of Dorset; and Baron Cooper of Pawlett, in the County of Somerset. The Baronetcy of Rockbourne, in Southampton, was created in the Baronetage of England in 1622 for the Earl's father, John Cooper who sat as a Member of Parliament for Poole. These titles are also in the Peerage of England. Baron Ashley is used as a courtesy title by the Earl's eldest son and heir apparent.

Table format
It is proposed that the recent change from the list of title holders to a table of title holders be reverted to the list. User:Tryde states, "This kind of table for holders of titles has never been used in any articles on peerages or baronetcies, and I can't see why we would change this."

I concur and prefer the list format. In my opinion, it is more appealing and doesn't overwhelm the rest of the article. If the reader is interested in the detailed information on each individual, they can follow the appropriate link to that article. Cindamuse (talk) 09:30, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Cooper Baronetcy
It is proposed that the recent change removing the Cooper Baronetcy be reverted. User:Tryde states, "[the list of the Cooper Baronetcy] has always been the style used to include holders of baronetcies and other junior titles in peerage articles, see for instance Earl of Kimberley.
