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.
This article is written in Indian English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, analysed, defence) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.
Shivaji was a good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

What is the source of the comment "But even this failed to satisfy the greed of the Brahmins."?[edit]
This seems like a comment rather than a fact. Is this the bias of the writer? I think wikipedia should refrain from making statements like this which could be opinions of a book writer. Mrudulaj286 (talk) 15:47, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Removed section. Appears to be unsourced POV content. SKAG123 (talk) 02:09, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Someone giving the title mountain rat to shivaji
But the tile Mountain rat is given Mughal not by Shivaji himself Mnbnjghiryurr (talk) 16:09, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
While the moniker needs to be mentioned, I agree that the same is not required in lead. It is well covered in warfare section RedtigerxyzTalk 05:41, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can anyone change the name to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj?[edit]
Why is the title not included in the name? Sayalibm (talk) 23:44, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Because Wikipedia generally does not include titles or honorifics in article titles. MrOllie (talk) 23:51, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
