Talk:Poynings' Law

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

a very sloppy article, which needs rewriting by someone knowledgable. Adam 04:16, 6 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] I edited this a bit

I just added some information to this. Its a part of a paper I wrote. I didn't know how to do the footnote citations, but I added them intext and the full bibliographical information is at the bottom, so if someone wants to change it they can. Or I will try to do figure it out when I have time —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Turbo 22 (talk • contribs) 05:51, 6 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Hmmm

I just figured out that wikipedia does use intext, so I guess they are ok!

Can anybody change the title of the entry? Its "Poynings' Law" not "Poyning's Law" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Turbo 22 (talk • contribs) 07:24, 6 December 2006 (UTC).

I've queried the spelling at Talk:Edward Poyning#Poyning or Poynings?. Certainly the short title given to the Act by the RoI is spelled "Poynings' Act 1495", though. Silverhelm 16:39, 9 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] I changed it

I changed it to Poynings' Law for now. Tbe more common way its spelt in the scholarship is Poynings' Law. I was under the impression it didn't have a name like that, but Poynings' Law/Act became nicknames for it, and its conventionally been referred as that since —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Turbo 22 (talk • contribs) 03:39, 10 December 2006 (UTC).
