Talk:The Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons

Lumpers and splitters

I can't see a good reason for boldly splitting this article into two pieces, one for each painting, and then duplicating most of the content at The Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons (Philadelphia) and The Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons (Cleveland), so have reverted. Perhaps others disagree? Now the time to discuss. Theramin (talk) 22:59, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
