Wehwalt is right: The BBC source is inaccurate.
editUser:Wehwalt, Thank you for the much-needed corrections. I think your edits are correct, and my old material was incorrect. I had lifted it from this BBC article, which I believe contains inaccuracies itself.
As a result, be aware that your corrections actually contradict the BBC source in the footnotes. The solution may simply be to delete the BBC source as a citation. Andrew Gradman talk/WP:Hornbook 21:52, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
- I read the AfD, I'm sorry, I had totally forgotten this aritcle until I came across the see also. Uh, I would say keep BBC as a reference but don't use it to cite what is obviously wrong. There must be a backstory to this, I will see if I can find out anything. Why else would monarchs over the course of over a century issue near identical proclamations? I appreciate very much your staying involved with the article.--Wehwalt (talk) 03:15, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
