Hereditary?

[edit]

Was the upper house meant to be hereditary? Were appointments meant to be for life? --Jfruh (talk) 13:41, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No the members were nominated for life (much as what happens today with life peers -- PBS (talk) 10:00, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Other House

[edit]

For those who do not know, the usual parliamentary language used to describe the other house in the two house legislator used in Westminster is "the other house" and "the other place", (it still is:[1][2]

As can be seen from the reference below there is some confusion over the name of the other house, but "Other House" is not uncommon.

AdminBiogHist On 5 March 1657 the House of Commons decided that there should be two Houses of Parliament, as existed before the abolition of the House of Lords in 1649. This second chamber would be known as the 'Other House' and would be composed of people nominated for life by Oliver Cromwell, the Lord Protector. The 'Other House' sat for just two sessions, before the House of Lords was re-instated following the Restoration in 1660.

[edit]

"A foundling in a church porch. He was at first a drayman, but by Tiding with Pride the popular, party established a brewery." - is something garbled here? Moonraker2 (talk) 07:13, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

yes and an OCR error "A foundling in a church porch. He was at first a drayman, but by siding with the popular party, Pride established a brewery." -- PBS (talk) 09:36, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Makes much better sense, although perhaps not complete sense! Moonraker2 (talk) 19:14, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

1up verses 2up

[edit]

does not default to the first page of the volume in my browser. -- PBS (talk) 23:16, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Shows a view of two pages because of the "2up" at the end of the string

Shows a view of one page because of the "1up" at the end of the string

Therefore:

shows one page.

Shows two pages the first being 584 it does not default to the start of the book. -- PBS (talk) 23:20, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. And yes, it is better to link to page 585 directly. Opera hat (talk) 10:31, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

TOC

[edit]

For my reversal of the edit that removed __TOC__ see Talk:List of knights banneret of England#TOC -- PBS (talk) 10:49, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@user:Magioladitis As you can see this one is different from List of knights banneret of England. I suggest that if you do no want information under the TOC then you consider putting in a suitable section header and not moving the TOC to the left or right as the information from the TOC down is not part of the lead. -- PBS (talk) 15:50, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
the lead is too long so I have put back the TOC. If anyone does not link it then I suggest a section heading for the first section, rather than moving the TOC down the page. -- PBS (talk) 11:36, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
