message: I understand that he paid for the statue of Oliver Cromwell in front of the Palace of Westminster. In the Cromwell article, there is a citation, but I think there must be a more authoritative citation.--TGC55 (talk) 16:54, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Financed statue of Oliver Cromwell 

message: From the intro section. 'He briefly was in charge of Scottish affairs. This finest performance in office came as chairman of the London County Council in 1889.' What is the connection? Jackiespeel (talk) 21:55, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

message: He was pressed to marry Marie Fox, the sixteen-year-old adopted daughter of Henry Fox, 4th Baron Holland
:Who was doing the pressing? Her own page says: At the age of sixteen, Marie was courted by Archibald Primrose, later 5th Earl of Rosebery, but refused to marry him because she was unwilling to renounce Roman Catholicism. Valetude (talk) 18:33, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  'Pressed to marry'? 

message: Under that section should be added Rosebery's own contributions. He did, for instance, write a biography of Napoleon, covering the emperor's last years. Steinireyk (talk) 14:03, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Literary interests 

message: More like 'sports sponsor', from what we can see here. If there are any cases of his own personal triumphs on the sports field, would need to see them cited. Valetude (talk) 00:56, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  'Outstanding sportsman' 

message: re. the missing reference for "To quote his hero Napoleon, Rosebery thought that 'the Master of Egypt is the Master of India'; thus he pursued the policy of expansion in Africa.": He is quoting Napoleon with these words in his monograph "Napoleon: The Last Phase" (p. 199 of the 1900 London ed., link). Unfortunately, it is not apparent there that this would have been his own view, too, or that it prompted him pursuing a policy of expansion in Africa. --Anselm Schmidt (talk) 19:46, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Early political career 

message: Was there anything to Queensbury’s accusation? How was he regarded by his contemporaries? As it is, there is no more than the accusation. 2A00:23C3:E284:900:50F1:C224:AE78:C8C5 (talk) 22:04, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: Rumours

message: He is supposed to have gone into Lobb’s and just shouted ‘hat!’ whenever he wanted a new hat. P.G.Wodehouse put him into a story, disguised as a New Yorker who went into some big hotel and yelled ‘stamp!’ when he wanted one. Would this be a good addition to the article, with the right references? 2A00:23C3:E284:900:50F1:C224:AE78:C8C5 (talk) 22:01, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
