[edit] Pictures
There are too many pictures in this article, so it is too overcrowded, messy and confused. Please consider to remove these pcitures, which are unnecessary and have to do with the contents only remotely. ~~ Phoe talk 17:53, 12 February 2007 (UTC) ~~
- Too true confusing to read as things are all over the place. The License images could reasonably be replaced with a link to the LG [1] which also has the advantage that it is easy to read. Such warrants have now been almost entirely revoked but that is not really for this article. Alci12 18:27, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Too much context, for once!
Apart from there being too many images, there are far too many asides. In trying to make the very opening more like a normal Wikipedia biog I found myself unable to see the wood for the trees in the article. He was an FRS—but why? He was some kind of diplomat—but how important? I think some severe pruning will be needed if we are are to bring out how and why he is interesting. —Ian Spackman 13:53, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

- If you want to hear some lengthy asides, you should come to a family meeting. Marc xD--62.31.76.158 (talk) 15:41, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Right to use title in UK
The entire article smacks of WP:COIN and is almost certainly the product of an amateur genealogist's straining to convince self and others of some remote/fantasized kinship to "nobility". An example of the consequent exaggeration is the claim that continental titles which descended to male-line descendants of the original grantee, including females, were authorised for use in Britain. They weren't. Masculine primogeniture was imposed. I'm editing out the false allegation. FactStraight (talk) 04:17, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
