Please get me off this mailing list: I don't even know what you gentlemen are talking about. Have never heard of "honorifics" and from reading about what's going on politically in our country, the USA of A, I'm not sure I want to know. God, help Julian Assange and the world of journalism (which used to be the world of information!) Thanks to all

Dear Sir,
I have read about the Wikipedia rules. After adding articles in it, i face many problems, which can be explained / solved in detail by Wikipedia. Thanks. I have also read that "honorifics" i.e. Hazrat, Khawaja, SAW, RA are not allowed in Wikipedia. But i have seen the same are used frequently in many other Wikipedia articles as you can see in following two articles:
- Universal Sufi Silsila
- Pir Meher Ali Shah
Sir, please help me if there is any way to add these "honorifics" in article.
Best regards, M. Hussain
I'm not sure we have a rule against honorifics, for example, Hajji is used in the article Hazrat Ali and even has it's own article: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Hajji Maybe you could use that treatment for Hazrat, Khawaja, SAW, RA all of which I, and others, I'm sure, would be interested in knowing the meaning of.
