Title

Should this article not be at Electorate of Hanover? Almost all English-language sources I've encountered on the subject describe it as Hanover rather than Brunswick-Lüneburg. Lord Cornwallis (talk) 17:57, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, because that was not it's official name.92.3.135.133 (talk) 09:14, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well it is at Electorate of Hanover. It was moved from Electorate of Brunswick-Lüneburg in 2019, and that title was effectuated in 2009 in a move away from, again, Electorate of Hanover. There seems to be some "very slow movewarring" happening, with reasons being put forth for both terms. If dispute about this re-arises, it needs to be handled with a proper WP:RM procedure, not more movewarring. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 23:07, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Land Area?

The land area and other geographic facts should be conveyed by this article — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.17.117.146 (talk) 17:38, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weird grammar error I can't fix

There's a passage in there that presently reads:

George Louis died in 1727 and was succeeded by his son George II Augustus. In 1728, Emperor Charles VI officially enfeoffed George II (gave him land in exchange for a pledge of service), with the reverted fief of Saxe-Lauenburg, which had de facto been ruled in personal union with Hanover and with one of its preceding Principality of Lüneburg since 1689.

But "with one of its preceding Principality ..." doesn't make sense in English. I suspect there are one or more missing words. Or it's possible that "Principality" is meant to be plural. But as I'm not entirely certain what this clause is attempting to say, I don't quite know how to repair it. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 23:09, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
