replies: text: I see your point, as I would see today as the Elizabethan era as well, and Elizabeth II has reigned a lot longer than Elizabeth I and has seen a lot more events. Jamandell (d69) (Talk) 20:58, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

text: This bugs me as well. The Second Elizabethan Era maybe? 86.132.21.216 (talk) 02:32, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

text: Not to be crass, but since when do eras get named before they end?  Romantic era poets did not refer to themselves as "Romantic era poets" for example. Dougjaso (talk) 09:26, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: NOTES!!

message: The information panel top right (sorry don’t know the technical term) says that the E Era was succeeeded by the Jacobean Era, and preceded by the Tudor Period.  Elizabeth I was as much as a Tudor as her four predecessors, who after all were her grandfather, father, half-brother and half-sister.  It makes no sense to imply that she is not a Tudor — her era is in the Tudor period.  I’m not all that happy with dividing time into ‘eras’ based on whoever happens to be the monarch, but if you insist on it, it would be easier if there wasn't an attempt to have eras in a continuous flow.  “Elizabethan Era” would mean quite a lot to most people with an interest in English and British history, but “Jacobean Era” much less so — “which James do you mean?” they might ask — though here it is clearly James I and VI who is being referred to, it could be James II.
I suggest not bothering with the “preceded by” and “succeeded by” information.  It’s a rod for your back. Penelope Coleman (talk) 20:53, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Going by monarchs seem to be the easiest and most convenient way to help visitors form some sense of a timeline, even if there is some overlap. Perhaps it would be beneficial to note that these monarchal eras can occur at the same time somewhere on the page. How would you suggest these "eras" be divided of not by monarchs?

message: Health and diet in Elizabethan England is basically a redundant stub. Elizabethan era#Social history covers the same subjects, provides more information on those subjects, and provides information of better quality. I suggest the material from the former that isn't already covered by (or contradicted in) the latter simply be added to the latter and the two articles be merged. Scyrme (talk) 06:29, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Since it's been a while and there have been no stated objections, I will take that as a sign that no-one minds; I will implement the merge soon-ish unless there is a comment opposing the merge made between now and then. Scyrme (talk) 16:11, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  I've implemented the merge; Elizabethan era#Social history has been altered accordingly. Scyrme (talk) 21:27, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
