Proclamation section

Last three paragraphs of Proclamation section seem to be verbatim quotations from Siborne 1848. It is in the public domain, and there is an attribution note, but this does not address the problem that these quotes use outdated forms of English that is difficult to understand. Anyone reason not to rewrite in plainer English? Centrepull (talk) 07:55, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

None, so long as you keep the meaning the same. -- PBS (talk) 21:30, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
