Why this article was originally entitled "George Lyttelton": baronetcies in the Hanoverian era were somewhat transient. Since he was the first baron, the title was known after him, but not before, and he spent his whole life as George Lyttelton, with the baronetcy tacked on late. Would Robert Walpole be more naturally sought by students as Robert Walpole, 1st Earl of Orrery? Not that I disagree with the move, but there was reason to my choice of article name. So long as the redirect keeps working (and no other George Lyttelton gets an article that seizes the redirect), we're fine. Geogre 13:51, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Some one has added a "burial" category, without adding a statement as to his burial to the text, and certainly without providing a reference. Can this be resolved please? The text only identifies him as an alumni of Christchurch, Oxford. Peterkingiron ( talk) 16:42, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
I have a 2nd Ed of "The Beauties of Shakespear" (sic) published in 1757 which is "To the Houourable Sir George Lyttleton, One of the Lords-Commiſſioners of the Treaſury", Does anyone know why the name is now referred to as Lyttelton? Hippodras ( talk) 17:20, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
