message: * His infobox includes the image :File:Eadwig.jpg. Should that image be there? See : that image is some late 18th-early 19th century engraver's guess at what he looked like; it is unlikely to go back to a real image of him, and when the engraving was made there was no face-from-skull reconstruction skill, and no modern archaeology finding and preserving coins with his face on made in his reign.

message: The "cavorting" in question consisted of Eadwig (then only 16) being away from the feast with Ælfgifu and her mother Æthelgifu. He later married Ælfgifu…
(But then)
The annulment of the marriage of Eadwig and Æthelfgifu…
:I know he is supposed to have cavorted with both of them, but he can only have married one or the other. Valetude (talk) 23:47, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Æthelfgifu as wife is a typo which I have corrected, and also the account of the quarrel. Dudley Miles (talk) 08:04, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

message: I don’t think that a birthdate of c. 940 is plausible, as the Anglo Saxon Chronicle states he was 16 years old when he died in October 959 - so his birth year would’ve been 942 or 943. Dancingtudorqueen (talk) 00:21, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, but it is not for us, as editors, to decide. On Wikipedia, good sources always trump editorial opinions, no matter how well reasoned.  We have a high-quality recent source for the c. 940 date, so unless you can find an equally high quality secondary source that gives a different date, we are stuck with it.

replies: text: The Chronicle does not say that Eadwig died aged 16. It says that Edgar succeeded aged 16. Dudley Miles (talk) 09:08, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

message: The term "seneschal" is used four times, including in the lead. I don't know what it means, and its article is sufficiently imprecise that I am still in the dark as to its meaning as used here. Can each use in this article be replaced (retaining the link to seneschal if desired) with whichever of the various meanings apply in each case? Bazza (talk) 12:56, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: This is a complicated issue. I think it needs its own article and I will work on it. Dudley Miles (talk) 10:10, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

message: Presumably Eadwig's Charter to Abingdon Abbey c.957's charter should be linked in this article somewhere, but I don't think it currently is (and I'm not sure where makes the most sense to link it). – Aza24 (talk) 06:57, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I do not see any point in linking it. The article does not say which charter it is or what the charter said. It seems to be a random collection of facts, some of which are presumably relevant to an unidentified charter, but which tells a Wikipedia reader nothing useful.

replies: text: Then nominate it for deletion? Otherwise its our responsibility to integrate it into the encyclopedia... Aza24 (talk) 18:32, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I have thought of that. Strictly, it should be deleted, but someone has put in a lot of work which might be useful to someone else in the future. I am inclined to leave it, but I certainly would not oppose deletion if an editor proposed it. Dudley Miles (talk) 11:44, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
