Offences Against the Person Act 1875Offences against the Person Act 1875 – This page should be moved back to its original location for the same reasons that I gave in this edit when requesting that the article on the Offences against the Person Act 1861 should be moved back to its correct location. The only difference is that in this case, the short title is legally authorised by section 1 of the Offences against the Person Act 1875 itself, and not by the Short Titles Act 1896. James500 (talk) 04:57, 21 March 2018 (UTC) --Relisted.  Paine Ellsworth  put'r there  18:58, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • I've unbolded the comment and removed all references to a recommendation. That brings the comment into line with what the information page essay or how to essay recommends. James500 (talk) 05:47, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

[edit]

From the related current RM cited above: No one disputes the requestor's logic, when it comes to relevant legal documents; that simply is not connected to the capitalisation of a single letter in a Wikipedia article title, and if we start following this kind of logic, we complicate existing rules further. [1] Very well put, and equally applicable here. But perhaps best to discuss at that other RM. Andrewa (talk) 21:55, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
