Talk:Henry Pelham

message: Surely the Jacobite attempt of 1745-46 was a major crisis for him to deal with, yet it is not mentioned in the text. I think a war on home soil in the middle of his tenure as PM warrants a mention especially in conjunction with the War of Austrian Succession which is mentioned. Maybe someone well versed in the minutae of British politics at the time can add something, I dont feel qualified.

message: The Reference section at the end of this article says that "Some material has been adapted from the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica."  In fact, entire sections (such as Section 2 Achievements) are lifted completely word for word from Britannica without specific reference to that source in the section itself or placing it in quotes.  See http://books.google.com/books?id=GKMMAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA474&lpg=PA474&dq=insubordination+might+exist+within+the+cabinet&source=bl&ots=TuKd8DitTI&sig=ExI5hyv4qPEnH1VmMpmynTJQHGM&hl=en&ei=gPlCTbOlMsP7lweKwpkF&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBMQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=insubordination%20might%20exist%20within%20the%20cabinet&f=false  Is this style acceptable in Wikipedia?

thread_title:  Question about References 

message: When updating references, I found that the page about Henry Pelham on the web site NNDB shares a very large portion of text with this Wikipedia article, word for word. I do not know (yet) which is the oldest. Is Wikipedia violating NNDB's copyright or is it the other way around? Bever (talk) 22:54, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: NNDB are themselves copying the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica. When Wikipedia started, it was common for articles on historical people to use the public domain entry from the Encyclopaedia.--Britannicus (talk) 23:04, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I just found out the same. The link in the previous section did not work temporarily, so I had some trouble with searching. I dislike that NNDB does not give this source, it is not a copyright violation but not very honest. So I think it has to be removed from this article as a source. By the way that Pelham was a member from the Church of England does not really need a reference anyway, since people from all other denominations were excluded from political office at the time...

message: Can anyone find a reliable source to substantiate the claim that his nickname was "Henry IX"? I had a quick search and couldn't find anything, so removed Pelham's name from the Henry IX disambiguation page. Meticulo (talk) 05:09, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

message: please could you explain why you have rated the article start? The automatic rater rates it C 87%, for what it is worth. TSventon (talk) 12:13, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: , I don't believe the referencing is up to par with a C-class article. The article is also comparatively short, considerably shorter than such C-class articles of British prime ministers as Robert Walpole, for instance. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 02:44, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  thanks, I was curious and thought it would be useful to note the problems on the talk page. I think that Start is a bit harsh as a WP:C-class article"may still have significant problems or require substantial cleanup" and the article has 21kB, while :Wing the example given of a C class article was only 15kB in 2018.
