The article states that the Duke of Wellington spoke in the third person during a debate in Parliament. However is this really the case or did Hansard at that time record debates in the third person?-- Britannicus ( talk) 17:38, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
What does "politically vascular" exactly mean? Bazuz ( talk) 12:12, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
The changes for Scotland were even greater than those for England and Wales. But there is no article in Wikipedia. You found nothing interesting? Relevance only in things concerning England? -- Wiskeps ( talk) 21:47, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
The article states "This requirement, known as the forty shilling freehold, was never adjusted for inflation". But was there any inflation at that time? The pound sterling was defined as a fixed amount of mass (a pound) of sterling silver throughout that period, it was not debased. The amount of inflation I would therefore expect to have taken place, is zero. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tarian.liber ( talk • contribs) 18:09, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
May I just put a note here, to discourage people from wrongly correcting it as happens so often... The quote in the first paragraph talks about "divers abuses", not diverse abuses. For information, "divers" means "more than one" - it isn't even a synonym of "diverse". 195.171.114.69 ( talk) 13:56, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
I can't really find a good place to slot this into the article but might be worth mentioning somewhere that William Gregson (barrister) is credited with drafting the act. ("He lived to be the barrister who drafted the Great Reform Bill" [1] plus other references in his article e.g. [2]). — Nizolan ( talk · c.) 16:26, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
There is a wikipedia disambiguation page: it's not clear what the sense is here, in this article. 1.159.58.220 ( talk) 11:53, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
The link after "indexed as" (2 & 3 Will. 4 etc) goes to the wrong place. I cannot find the right place. Did the information that used to be linked get lost? Chhildeb ( talk) 07:12, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
