What's an MP?
"a group of young MPs associated with Lord Cobham." What's an MP and should we change the acronym to something most people would understand?

I've never seen Grenville's name spelled that way. English spelling was fairly standardized in the 18th century. I see no especial reason for a redirect. john k 07:05, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
- As additional information, I did two google searches, one that paired "george grenville" with "prime minister", and one that did the same for "george greenville". Grenville scored 18,000+ hits, Greenville 435. I'm personally a little on the fence...if Greenville appears that often, while it's clearly wrong, it's also potentially likely that someone would come here looking for him under that spelling. I have to believe that's why George Greenville is a requested article for the 18th Century. I appreciate your opinion, John, and if no one agrees with me, I'll leave it be, but I'm curious if there are any others with opinions. Also, is there a George Greenville I'm unfamiliar with who deserves his own article (and, perhaps, is the person actually being requested?)? Jwrosenzweig 23:05, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
- What are the general guidelines for redirects for misspellings? I had thought that we don't have redirects for misspellings, but we obviously have some (Tony Bliar, for instance)...it seems like this is something we ought to have a general policy for, and not decide based on individual cases. john k 23:32, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
- The guidelines, such as they are, are here: Wikipedia:Redirect. It's not good at distinguishing when we make such decisions. Do you think this is such a case? Jwrosenzweig 23:40, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
- I've no idea. If you want to make the redirect, feel free. The alternate spelling seems common, even if wrong. john k 02:58, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

This article is really lacking information regarding his influence on the American colonists. (-history student who must now go elsewhere) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.197.235.12 (talk) 04:25, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
