message: I'm going to put this back at "English Regency", simply because (a) that's what it has been commonly known as, and we tend to go for "most common usage" by preference; and (b) because it differentiates the period in UK history from any other type of regency.  Thus, I recommend this page NOT be moved to "Regency". -- April 22:17 Dec 5, 2002 (UTC)
:Why is this the 'English' Regency when it was also the regency in Scotland and Ireland? -- IP 86.132.4.240, 01:10, 2 April 2006
::Good question -- many people would unconsciously assume that London was setting the social trends, but actually the Scottish enlightenment was still going pretty strong then.  (However, Ireland was in a sad state at that time.)  In any case, the term as it is used today is more social than it is strictly political, and "English Regency" is probably the most commonly-occurring form (other than just plain "Regency").

replies: text: The title of this page is English Regency, however this is not at all correct, as the Regent was not only so of England but of all the UK, and in the intrests of correctness this should be changed to the more appropriate British Regency

thread_title: Page title dispute

message: Pickwick Papers and Oliver Twist were published prior to Victoria ascending the throne. Moreoever, even the later novels are set in the Regency period -- ie. the period of Dicken's own childhood.
Thus, in David Copperfield, when the King's health is drunk, it is George IV who is meant.

replies: text: The Pickwick papers were published during the transition from William IV to Victoria, 16 years or so after the end of the formal legal Regency.  Dickens has his historical novels (i.e. pre 19th-century), his pre-railway novels (set in the early 19th-century), and his railway novels (i.e. set more or less contemporaneously in the period when they were published), but to my mind his pre-railway novels do not have a strong flavor of Regency England, and it's hard for me to say in what sense Dickens was really a "Regency writer"...

thread_title: Jane Austen

message: While her influence probably still loomed large in the Regency, she died in 1806, five years before the period described by this section began. Strictly speaking her name belongs to the Georgian era. If no one has an objection, this sentence needs to be changed. I'll wait for discussion before doing so:
Headed by the widely popular Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, the nobility sought to outdo one another in extravagance, pomp, and circumstance, albeit of a “shallow” nature[1].Vsanborn (talk) 08:18, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

message: " In 1814, The Times adopted steam printing thereby increasing production capabilities, along with demand tenfold (printing 1100 sheets per hour versus the previous 200 per hour).[7] "
200->1100 isn't tenfold, right?  Which figure is correct?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.118.29.19 (talk) 03:12, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

message: In the 6th Poldark novel The Four Swans (Book Two, chapter III), George Warleggan is said to have been to London and seen the Prince Regent and Lady Holland at a theatre.  This would be around 1796.
Were it any other author I should consider this simply a blunder; but Graham's historical research is otherwise so detailed and so accurate that I can't help wondering if it is a gap in my education.
Was there a previous regency at that time, of any duration?  And who would Lady Holland have been? Paul Magnussen (talk) 17:55, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: There were previous episodes of mental disturbance and talk of appointing a regency, but this was not actually done until 1811. See George III of the United Kingdom. Churchh (talk) 21:17, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  An earlier British Regency? 

message: The "list of places associated with the Regency era" seems to be, in actual fact, a list of places mentioned in Jane Austen novels, particularly given the links to the now-defunct Prints George "Jane Austen places" webpage. Could we make it more informative and illustrative of the era's architecture and civic development to list only those places built during or just before the era?

thread_title:  List of places 

message: The first line of this article reads:
″The Regency in Great Britain was a period when King George III was deemed unfit to rule and his son ruled as his proxy as Prince Regent."
I'm no expert on this era, but I don't believe that either the Prince Regent or George III 'ruled'. They 'reigned', but power was mostly in the hands of Parliament, not the monarch or his surrogate.

message: In the lead it currently states "Great Britain", but for people and events after the Act of Union, 1800 most Wikipedia articles use "United Kingdom". Should this page follow suit? -- PBS (talk) 12:30, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

message: On the side, the page says this:
Regency era
c. 1811 – 1820
Preceded by	Georgian era
Followed by	Victorian era''
The rest of this article is clear that Regency was a sub-period. Why not here? 
Regency was a sub-period inside the Georgian Era.

message: What is the basis of this approximate date? Nothing in the article indicates why 1795 was chosen or by whom, it just declares that this is generally accepted without citing any source for that claim.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  07:30, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
