[edit] History tidied

It only contained some discussion of poor examples that had been removed, and lots of 'fwappling' about how to do links - it's all in this talk page's history if you have lots of time to waste ! Sorry, but 'Be Bold' is an accepted principle, even on article pages, let alone talk pages !

[edit] Better Example ?

I would even consider removing "In agreement with the Imperial Duma We have thought it well ..." as possibly being genuine plural, (a bit like 'My husband and I' could lead Queen Elizabeth II to use 'we' as a real plural) or maybe just poor Russian -> English translation ? "We thought it Our duty of conscience to facilitate for Our people the closest union possible ..." may be a better example from the same reference.

[edit] Capitalisation

Capitalisation is sometimes used to indicate PM - should that be mentioned in the article ?
