For every ducal title there's probably a street somewhere. Is there a particularly prominent Duke of Kent Street? —Tamfang (talk) 18:52, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Succession to the Crown Act 2013

Note that Nicholas Windsor is permanently barred from the succession to the Crown as a Roman Catholic convert. The Succession to the Crown Act 2013 allows someone in the succession to marry a Roman Catholic and still remain in succession, but the 2013 Act did not repeal the prohibition that bars Roman Catholics from the succession itself. The prohibition takes no note of later conversion to Protestantism. Anyone who at any time was (such as by birth or baptism) or later becomes a Roman Catholic (by conversion) is perpetually barred from the succession. I have edited the section in question.

In 1934, Prince George (1902–1942), . . . , created the titles of Duke of Kent, Earl of St Andrews and Baron Downpatrick.

In 1934, Prince George (1902–1942), the fourth son of King George V of the United Kingdom and Queen Mary, created the titles of Duke of Kent, Earl of St Andrews and Baron Downpatrick. How could he do such a thing? Eddaido (talk) 11:15, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

That's the result of a well-meant but incorrect IP edit[1]. I've reverted. Celia Homeford (talk) 11:43, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Citations needed

@Celia Homeford: You reverted my edit. Can you please place flags next to the points in the various sections where you think they’re needed, rather than merely flagging the entire article? Thanks. Chrisdevelop (talk) 01:59, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

No. There are eight uncited sections, an uncited sub-section and uncited statements in the sections with a citation. One maintenance template is better than peppering the article with a dozen or more. Celia Homeford (talk) 08:13, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

@Celia Homeford: Most sections in this article include links to other articles, that themselves provide citations, or when uncited, don't in my view fall into the 'you do need to cite that the sky is blue' category. Under WP:WHEN citations are to be provided when a statement is likely to be challenged "Material that is actually challenged by another editor requires a source or it may be removed." Surely, 6 years is enough time for an editor to have challenged such contributions? If a contribution was 'likely to be challenged' over the last six years, it would have been by now. Can you please supply just one instance of something in the article you are challenging, such that it should be removed otherwise? Chrisdevelop (talk) 23:25, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

The first uncited paragraph says: "After the death of Godwin, Earl of Wessex, his son Leofwine (c. 1035–1066) became Earl of Kent sometime between 1056 and 1058." But the first linked article, which has no inline citations, claims Godwin, not Leofwine, was the 1st earl of Kent. There is a link to https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/1911_Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britannica/Kent,_Earls_and_Dukes_of at the bottom of that article, and that citation says, "The first holder of the English earldom of Kent was probably Odo, bishop of Bayeux", not Godwin or Leofwine. At Godwin, Earl of Wessex, there's no mention in any of the accessible citations about him being earl of Kent. So, the articles are self-contradictory and contradict the citations in those articles. That's just the first line of the first uncited section.

BTW, pings only work when they are added with a fresh signature. See Template:Reply to/doc#Usage. Celia Homeford (talk) 07:41, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Thank you, I’ll look into this. Chrisdevelop (talk) 08:09, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
