I've redirected both pages here, as nothing linked to them. I'll produce an exception report shortly of the differences between the three... sjorford 12:54, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: Frederic Seebohm (1833-1912) was a British economic historian.  The Frederic Seebohn of April, 1972, in this article cannot be the same person, ergo, a distinguishing title ought to be produced for him. I'm unfamiliar with the proper wordage, so someone who knows of English royalty ought to step in and fix the name of the 1972 man.  GhostofSuperslum 05:49, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have successfully produced Frederic Seebohm (1833-1912).  Please re-title the Frederic Seebohm in this article. Gratias.  GhostofSuperslum 06:36, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have renamed him Frederic Seebohm (Life peer) to separate him from Frederic Seebohm economic historian.  That may suffice. GhostofSuperslum 00:53, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Propose that this page be split into pages based on the Prime Minister in office in order to reduce page size and improve usability. Mbisanz (talk) 07:53, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: With the page at 178kb, I would think that would be a brilliant idea in lieu of any other suggestions.  It really looks like it should just happen. -- billinghurst (talk) 05:43, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Should be split, but perhaps not one page per PM. How about three pages: pre-Thatcher; Thatcher and Major; and Blair and Brown. That would give three roughly equal pages. JRawle (Talk) 12:00, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That gets my vote, per PM would become messy looking for peers around the time of a change of power. Now all we need is someone to be bold :) AllsoulsDay (talk) 16:50, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I'm happy to do this, but what should be the titles of the new pages? We could have "List of life peerages created pre-1979", except that Callaghan created some in 1979. "List of life peerages pre-Thatcher"? "List of life peerages under Thatcher and Major"? "List of life peerages created post-1997 election"? It's taken long enough to decide to split the page, so we may as well spend some time getting the page names right! JRawle (Talk) 21:15, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hmm options seems to be 1958-June 1979, June 1979-97 97-Present or 1958-Callaghan, Thatcher-Major and Blair-Brown. The first has the advantage of giving you clear dates the latter perhaps easier for people to associate with parties/governments. Probably the latter is better AllsoulsDay (talk) 09:30, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I endorse "Pre Thatcher", "Thatcher Major" and "Blair Brown" rather than dates. Kittybrewster  ☎ 11:35, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: We all seem to be in agreement about that. But the question is, what should the exact wording of the page titles be? I don't think "List of pre-Thatcher life peerages" is appropriate. JRawle (Talk) 18:59, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  That's why I gave the option of dates as they seemed an easier name format ;) ...Square one AllsoulsDay (talk) 16:58, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Why "of Hendon in the City of London"? Surely "of Hendon in the London Borough of Barnet".--Oxonian2006 (talk) 15:38, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There is no source for that title. I left the editor who added it a message yesterday and have had no reply. Therefore I've removed both Mandelson and Judge as neither has yet been gazetted so should not be on the list anyway. In theory, he may even choose to become something other than Lord Mandelson.

text: I've added an extra subsection detailing new (or possible new) peers whose titles have not yet been created, including two crossbenchers announced by the Appointments Commission last week. JRawle (Talk) 16:38, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
