Talk:Victor Cavendish, 9th Duke of Devonshire

message: How could this sentence be reworded? "For Cavendish, Canada left with his family the two aides-de-camp who had married Cavendish's daughters while the family resided in Ottawa."
It's not making sense at the moment.  There were three daughters.  Harold Macmillan was his aide-de-camp, who else?--User:Brenont (talk) 15:03, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

message: The phrase "Governorship general" is not common usage. I'll happily change Governor-Generals to Governors-General, but this does not extend to making up odd constructions such as Governordom-general or Governorship-general. They jar the reader's eye. Far better to find a different construction that provides the same information without making people wince. Saying that the same awkward phrase has been used elsewhere and we should therefore be consistent in our awkwardness cuts no ice. Are you really going to edit war over such nonsense? I'm going to hunt down all the other instances of this horrible bit of faux-English and stomp them to death, and if you want to make a fuss over it, be my guest. --Pete (talk) 21:03, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Already under discussion at Talk:David Johnston#Perhaps discussion to avoid an edit war would be appropriate. --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 21:31, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Awkward phrasing 

message: I noticed a citation need had been put against my statement he retired from the Yeomanry in 1911.  I have added my source, which gave the year as 1911, without describing how the service finished, as the 1913 Kelly's Handbook.  His entry in Burke's Peerage for the same year states "late Derbyshire Yeomanry", implying he had ceased to serve with the regiment.  Had he remained serving with the regiment the following year he would probably have been mobilized to serve in World War I, which for him did not happen.Cloptonson (talk) 19:16, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
