Magna Carta
editMy understanding is that the word 'the' isn't required when referencing Magna Carta. So, should it be removed from the single reference on this page? Random56653 (talk) 01:15, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
- I removed the word 'the' from 'the Magna Carta' to match with the main Magna Carta article. Random56653 (talk) 18:09, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
- If you're going to do that, treating it as a title, you MUST add the italics. Johnbod (talk) 18:22, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
- Not sure about that, references to Domesday Book doesn't seem to get italicised. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 18:52, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
- No, that's a name, not a title. Most illuminated manuscripts have names too. Johnbod (talk) 02:34, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
- I'm quite new to editing, and I don't think I understand why removing 'the' changes whether something becomes a title and thus has to be be in italics. Of the many pages that link to Magna Carta, some have it italics, some don't. Many thanks for any help you can give me. Random56653 (talk) 02:00, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
- According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Titles of works#Neither, 'Legal or constitutional documents' should not be in italics. Does that mean that Magna Carta should not be in italics, as it's a royal charter? Random56653 (talk) 17:39, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
- I think it should be treated as a name, with no italics, but a "the" in most contexts. Johnbod (talk) 15:27, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
- According to [1]https://www.parliament.uk/about/living-heritage/evolutionofparliament/originsofparliament/birthofparliament/overview/magnacarta/ and [2]https://www.parliament.uk/about/living-heritage/evolutionofparliament/originsofparliament/birthofparliament/overview/magnacarta/magnacartaclauses/ Magna Carta doesn't use the word 'the'. So combining both rules, I think that we can remove 'the' and remove the italics? Random56653 (talk) 17:39, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

editWilliam IV is known to have died in Windsor Castle. It is also known he had taken his children with Dorothea Jordan into custody and resided with them. This article should reflect more of what was occurring with King William IV when he was in residence at Windsor Castle. 75.134.159.146 (talk) 21:57, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
