Should this be worked into Economic history of Britain instead of having and article with EB1911 title?--Birgitte§β ʈ Talk 20:36, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Separate article status

I feel strongly that the content in this article is worthly of a separate article rather than being merged or just being deleted by passing admins.

Its a subtle difference, but enonomy does not equal finance.

This article is truely a history of the fical development of England which in large part has become the dominant fiscal model for western economies. To acentuate this point I have renamed the article to History of the English fiscal system.

I will attempt to edit the page to something more concise and introduce some modern refernces to stress the importance of the developments discussed.

Please discuss here if you feel this is a bad thing, stating reasons.

Being at a loose end at present, I began to sub-edit this a bit at a time. Hope you don't mind although, if you do, I gather that all is not lost and you can reoover the original. At present, I have reached only the heading, 'The Clergy.' Unfortunately, I can't make sense of the second paragraph thereunder about the Lancastrian age. Also something seems to be wrong with the figures here (and in other places as well).

Hope I haven't contravened any of Wikepedia's rules/instructions etc. but there are so many of them and, to be quite honest, I'm a total technological idiot.

[edit] Cleanup

I have gone through the majority of this article to wikify and cleanup the mistakes. Apparently this article was submitted using text scanned off of the original copy. There are some words or numerical groups which were wrecked by the scanner and I have marked those between ?.....? There are also some British terms that escape my knowledge of. --Brad101 04:00, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
