Talk:Petition of Right

message: * 7 May 2007: I moved Petition of Right, 1628 to Petition of Right as user request, deleting the previous Petition of Right which was a redirect.
*17 May 2007: I restored a slice of Petition of Right's history (from August 2003 to June 2006) which got left at Petition of Right when the text was cut-and-pasted to Petition of Right, 1628 in August 2003.

message: The year given for the Petition of Right in this article was 1627, based on the date given in the UK Statute Law Database.  I have changed the year to 1628, however, since the Petition of Right was created in 1628 (by the parliament of 1628), granted by the the king in 1628, and is invariably referred to in historical works as dating from 1628.  Thus, dating the Petition to 1627 is, I think, misleading, and, for the purposes of an encyclopedia, inaccurate.  As an example, I would compare it to saying that Magna Carta dates from 1297, since that is the year listed in the statute book, even though in a much more significant sense Magna Carta dates from 1215. 
Additionally, the Statute Law Database is said to date the Petition to 1627 because it retroactively came into force from the beginning of the 1627 session of parliament.  Under new style dating, however, the parliament of that year did not begin in 1627, but rather in 1628.  Because that year's parliament began on March 17th, in the old style calender it would have preceded New Year's Day (which at that time was March 25th), and therefore would have been considered as beginning in 1627.  But, using the modern calender, there was no parliament held in 1627 - the parliament began in 1628. Groundsquirrel13 (talk) 04:27, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

message: The history of the mutiny act is strongly tied to the petition of right. I am wondering if it would be appropriate to mention this in the article here and provide a link to the mutiny act article. Thoughts?Jumpinbean (talk) 03:52, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: A short discussion of what the Petition of Right says concerning martial law, with a brief description of how that related to the Mutiny Act (and a link to the Act), would probably be appropriate for the "Content of the Petition" section.

text: Added a short comment per your recommendation Groundsquirrel. I am wondering if it fits or if it needs adjustment to flow better. Jumpinbean (talk) 02:14, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

message: This is encyclopedia article, a tertiary source. It is not a research paper for users to show off their knowledge of the names of scholars. Scholar's names should be left to the references; this material is dense enough without such useless clutter. This is especially true if the scholar is the source.
