[edit] James I of England

Self-nomination. -- Emsworth 22:32, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

• Support, with one qualification. In the second sentence of the section "Conflict with Parliament", you write "It voted four subsides to the King". Should that be "subsidies" instead of "subsides"? Otherwise, excellent work. - Karl Ward 03:01, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
• Support. James F. (talk) 03:14, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
• Strongly support - Emsworth is one of the best writers on here regarding the British history. He also referred to the Scottish Parliament as being "milquetoasty", and you gotta love that... and Karl, I copyedited while reading through, and noticed that one (and fixed it as well). ugen64 03:22, Sep 12, 2004 (UTC)
  • • Tragedy that the word had to leave the article :-). -- Emsworth 14:19, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
• Also, should the first sentence read "was the first Sovereign to reign in the three realms simultaneously"? Just a minor quibble/question. - Karl Ward 03:33, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • You are correct; done. -- Emsworth 14:15, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
• Comment: it seems to be going through a major reedit. Maybe I'll wait a bit and see. I need to know about James I however, so I'd like to support if possible. - Ta bu shi da yu 08:01, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC) I support. - Ta bu shi da yu 00:08, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)
• Support. I added a bit and hope I didn't mess anything up. --mav 10:22, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
• Object. Excellent article again by His Lordship, but there's one internal contradiction. The lead section tells us that "James was a somewhat popular monarch,", while the "Legacy" section writes that "James found himself unpopular with many of his English subjects". Even though the latter refers only to his popularity in England, I still think this needs to be sorted out. You have my support once this minor issue is resolved. Jeronimo 14:10, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Yes; the merging of English and Scottish popularity levels does seem confusing. Done. -- Emsworth 14:15, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
• Support! Zerbey 17:09, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
