Early life

• "... spending eight months over 1668–69 in France". What does "over 1668–69" mean?

• Should be "in", I think.

• "As a Protestant, George was considered a suitable partner for the niece of King Charles II of England, The Lady Anne". Her name certainly wasn't "The Lady Anne".

• Are you saying it should be "Anne"? DrKiernan (talk) 07:40, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  I was suggesting "the Lady Anne", but of course we must bow to what the sources say. Malleus Fatuorum 14:15, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• We could probably remove the "the". DrKiernan (talk) 14:25, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• "Both Denmark and Britain were Protestant countries, and Louis XIV was also keen on an Anglo-Danish alliance". What's that "also" doing there?

• Removed.

Marriage

• "He was made a Knight of the Garter on 1 January 1684,[10] and King Charles gave them a set of buildings in the Palace of Whitehall".

• I think we just cut the Garter, so to speak, as it's repeated in the "Honours" section.

Issue

• The table looks rather strange with the variable number of columns to the left. Might it be better to centre the birth/death dates where they are the same?

• Just learned how to do that!

Sources

• There are 100 citations, most of them rather short. Any reason not to use columns here?

• No, just an oversight. I usually edit in Explorer so I don't see columns.
• Thank you very much for the review, and the copy-edit. DrKiernan (talk) 18:48, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
