Why no mention of Livery and Maintenance?

Livery and Maintenance (also known as Retaining) was a potential threat to the state when the liveried retainers became in number, training, and function a private army. Laws were passed against it at the beginning of the Sixteenth Century, though in practice it was tolerated and licensed where the throne felt it supported order. We obviously need a section on that here. A good starting source for this might be http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/tudor-england/henry-vii-and-retaining/ .

Article title

Apparently, livery means many different things, see wikt:livery. And Taxicab livery#United Kingdom. Shouldn't this article bear a title a bit more specific ? --Jerome Potts (talk) 23:49, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Garde du Corps?

What's with this image? While informative (..maybe?), it seems like a somewhat juvenile representation of a uniform--Dramartistic (talk) 19:59, 22 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's certainly not great art but as you note it does give information relevant to that particular section of the article. This type of naive illustration is known as a "schematic diagram" and is frequently used to illustrate a collection of representations where comparative detail is more important than style. This particular example is part of a series which appears in a number of Wikipedia articles dealing with historic French Army regiments.Buistr (talk) 21:05, 22 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

1948

The United Kingdom section contains this sentence:

Elizabeth II also had a family livery colour, however, known as 'Edinburgh Green', which she and the Duke of Edinburgh chose in the year of their marriage, 1948.

Philip & Elizabeth's wedding happened in 1947 not 1948. Does mean that they actually chose the colour in 1947, or should the sentence say it was the year after their marriage instead? Robin S. Taylor (talk) 10:51, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed it by removing "in the year of their marriage", because that wasn't in the source, but 1948 was. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 13:46, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
