List of English monarchs[edit]
This list has been completely rewritten in the past fortnight, and I would appeciate feedback to get it to FL status. Thanks. --Majorly (Talk) 12:00, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- The inclusion criteria is not clear. Anyone styled themself as a monarch of England? Anyone who raiseed an army to defend a claim to the throne? Anyone who was effectivly a ruler of X square miles of England?
- It would be really useful to list the number of children who survived the monarch as well a number of actual births. Or at least note if none survived. Queen Anne is confusing because of this
- All subheadings need to have a prose intro even the Yorkists etc.
- The Commonwealth subheading calls itself the Protectorate in the prose. Why are there two names.
- I think maybe there should be a column for titles. I am sure discussion of titles should not make up such a large part of the lead
- Pictures need captions.
I think this is a nicely established list. Atfer those are taken care of, as some of them affect the lead, I think you try to rewrite the lead so that it covers the entirity of the list better. Before going for featured you really need to focus on getting everything referenced.--Birgitte§β ʈ Talk 17:58, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- Do the names on the left of the images not make do as captions? Judging by List of French monarchs and List of Portuguese monarchs the images in the tables do not have captions. --Majorly (Talk) 21:37, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think that counts (See Wikipedia:What is a featured list? #3). The caption's need not repeat the name if you dislike that. However they should say the date of the art work, and the name of the larger work is applicable (i.e. for tapestries).--Birgitte§β ʈ Talk 23:06, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
