h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

No I will change that the spell checker auto corrected

Interestingly the UK Gov site uses Stewart and encyclopedias use Stuart, what is H2G2 policy

h2g2 wouldn't have a policy for something like that.

I can answer this one! Yes. The "w" spelling was used when the family was in France. It started with Mary Queen of Scots who spent a significant amount of time there.



Credit to the tourist notes in Peterborough Cathedral where she was buried before James to to Westminster Abbey.

So (having just seen the posts immediately before mine), the UK spelling would be Staurt and the continental spelling Stewart.

H2G2 policy is the UK spelling, I believe.

Well spotted that chap

Entry: The Stuarts: Henry, Elizabeth and Charles Stuart - A87794400
Author: bobstafford - U3151547

The content's looking good – there are the inevitable spelling, punctuation and grammar typos that always seem to creep in no matter who writes what, but nothing that I felt was confusing.

One thing I think I'd clarify is:
'He was to become better known as, Prince Rupert of the Rhine. A brave and courageous military Royalist leader of the English Civil War. He was famous for taking a poodle to war. People today have the wrong idea of "Boye"'

I think perhaps it could be clearer that Boye is the poodle you mentioned in the third sentence? So maybe something like:
'He was to become better known as Prince Rupert of the Rhine. A brave and courageous military Royalist leader of the English Civil War, he was famous for taking his poodle, Boye, to war. People today have the wrong idea of Boye, who was a huge white hunting dog similar in size to Great Dane with a shaggy mane that made him resemble a lion.'

There are a lot of phrases in quotation marks – but who are you quoting?

All corrected as suggester BB

Please can you confirm what the title of the Entry should be, please Bob.

The Entry says "The Stewarts. Henry, Elizabeth and Charles Stuart"

This PR conversation thread has changed from "Henry, Elizabeth and Charles Stuart" to "The Stuarts: Henry, Elizabeth and Charles Stuart"

Thank you

GB

Hello GB

"The Stewarts. Henry, Elizabeth and Charles Stuart"

Is best or clarity and web searches

Not sure what you intended to say there, bob, as that last sentence isn't English.

The entry should use the spelling Stuart and not mix the two spellings?

If you are going to mention the spelling Stewart, it should be explained that it was the spelling used in France.

Al sorted

Bob, I think the title is a bit confusing. I know you are deliberately calling the entries 'Stewart' because that was the family's original surname, but from Mary Queen of Scots onwards the name was spelt 'Stuart'. All the Stuart's in this entry used the 'Stuart' spelling and as you never actually use 'Stewart' in the body of the text, it seems strange to have it in the title. As you're not really covering the Stewarts who used the 'Stewart' spelling but only the 'Stuart' spelling, why confuse readers with the title?

BB thats better

Hi Bob, this link: >>An heroic animal a far cry from some of the neurotic inbred creatures of today<< is a dead link.

You also link to George Villiers, please change the internal h2g2 link to A87856988 which is the edited version



GB

Bob, if 'The Stewarts: Henry, Elizabeth and Charles Stuart' is your definite, final title for this entry, can you rename both the entry and this conversation to that title so that it is clear and consistent?
