Talk:Edward II of England

Lead image
Which of the following two images should be the lead image?

The two have switched around a bit, with B used for a few years before A. A has been used for roughly a year or so. There was no discussion to replace B. I prefer B, but happy to let others decide. Tim O&#39;Doherty (talk) 14:48, 5 February 2023 (UTC)


 * I much prefer Option B for the following reasons:
 * It has been through the GA and FA processes, both of which would have verified its licensing and use in the article.
 * Option A currently does not have the correct licensing for the US, which means its use in the article right now is questionable.
 * Option A is of poorer in terms of quality/clarity.
 * Option is vertically long, so it looks awkward both in the infobox and in preview when hovering over a link.
 * Personally, I find Option B more aesthetically pleasing.

 * It's been five days and all the current participants (a whopping two users) have expressed support for option B. Thus, I will change the lead image to that and any further objections may be raised here. Unlimitedlead (talk) 03:45, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

I also find option B more appropriate, especially with point 3 in mind. Super20020917 (talk) 14:33, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Additional Source for ‘Controversies’ Section
I think we can add a source or even a sentence about Edward's possible survival after 1327 from Kathryn Warner's (herself with a Wikipedia page) books "Edward II: An Unconventional King" and "Long Live the King?" Geographynerd101 (talk) 11:43, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Go ahead and add it, . Be Bold! —GoldRingChip 18:30, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

Caernarfon??
Why would an English king be referred to by the Welsh spelling, instead of the English spelling, Caernarvon? English is pronounced properly. 142.205.202.71 (talk) 19:10, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Caernarfon is the English spelling, although it's valid to point out the variant, especially if it was much more common in the past. Google ngram seems to back up both points: the present name is valid but so was the previous one. — Llywelyn II   04:31, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Mistaken revert
Aside from improved formatting, the additional points are all entirely valid and helpful to the reader for additional context. Was this just a kneejerk revert? or do the provided sources not include the additional detail and need to be corrected to something more accurate? Either way, reverting isn't the way to fix the problem. (Sorry the 'dubious' note on my edit was mistaken: That was from another article I'd been working on recently.) — Llywelyn II   04:35, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
