John Kenney made an edit with the following summary: reverting - the word "British" in relation to "house of commons" has no need to be shown in the article.

I included the word "British" in the link since "House of Commons" links to a generic House of Commons page, while British House of Commons links to the specific House in which Edward Grey served. Failing any objection, I hope to include "British" in the link. Lord Emsworth 02:21, Nov 7, 2003 (UTC)

  • "British HoC" would be unnecessary, as he's already referred to as a "British politician" in the preceding paragraph. Andy Mabbett 07:52, 7 Nov 2003 (UTC)
    • Therefore, British appears in the link, but not in the article: ((British HOC|HOC)). Lord Emsworth 13:29, Nov 7, 2003 (UTC)

POV like crazy here... "tepid German response" and others. Sources on these?

[edit] The Charm of Birds

I have a book by Sir Edward Grey titled The Charm of Birds. I wouldn't know of an acceptable place to put this information. Ninetigerr 20:34, 8 August 2006 (UTC)ninetigerr

[edit] Dealings With The Germans

Grey was slow to tell the Germans in no uncertain terms that an invasion of Belgium (by the Germans) would mean war. But it may not have been completely his fault. Until the Germans actually invaded Belgium and the British public rallied behind the pro-war faction, he really didn't have much to threaten them with. And that's one of the catch-22s of parlimentary democracy.Cranston Lamont (talk) 17:10, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
