Talk:List of Earldoms

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

All of the pages could be merged. The problem of having a page longer than 32 kB is solved by dividing it into sections. -- Emsworth 20:11, Mar 26, 2004 (UTC)

Word of warning. I think we've got a lot of mistakes in this list; a lot of feudal titles. I don't think that those belong here. If I can't confirm a title's existence, I'm transferring it to this temp page here: List of Earldoms/Questionable. Mackensen (talk) 23:17, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] A bold proposal

Given the discussion here and the general support for moving the article to a more descriptive and accurate title, would anyone object if I moved the article to List of earldoms in the peerages of the British Isles with a redirect from List of earldoms? I'm going to propose this for the other peerage pages, as well. Fishhead64 20:44, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

It's fair enough moving the equivalent pages for the other grades of the peerage, the titles of which do exist in other countries, but as far as I have understood the title of Earl is unique to the British Isles. Isn't this lengthier title for this article therefore rather redundant? Opera hat 18:46, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

I concur with Opera Hat. There aren't earls anywhere outside the British Isles. john k 20:01, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
