Talk:Edward VI

Not about Edward?
Much of this article seems to be about what happened to other people during Edward's reign. Many paragraphs do not mention Edward at all. I do not know what to do about it, but it does seem wrong to treat this article, which is supposed to be a biography, as an article about the general history of England from 1547 to 1553. We already have an article about the Tudor period. Surtsicna (talk) 18:19, 15 June 2018 (UTC)


 * "Prince" Edward established an educational system where corporeal punishment was forbidden. It should be such to this day, as Prince Edward traversed the London city in a Surrey with a box on the back that said something such as: "For the Prince's Projects," endeavors. For those that desire to be educated? Edward came to know that education was better than what the Commoner desired of their Children. 74.82.228.84 (talk) 21:30, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

A certain Mark Twain used Edward VI of England as a character in his famous book "The Prince and the Pauper" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.106.60.129 (talk) 13:15, 18 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Edward found that he had a suspected twin bother and may have been infected from a disease by his bother's dad. One would not suspect that the disease would come upon so quickly, though. None the less, his Brother and what Edward came to know of the lives of the Commoner. There was proof what the Lord was and it was found out that the Lord was not The Lord. 74.82.228.84 (talk) 21:13, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
 * An identical twins, they were, excepting the proof. 74.82.228.84 (talk) 21:18, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Edward was abused as a Commoner, but not as a Lord? God ForGive. 74.82.228.84 (talk) 21:34, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
 * God ForGive even if was Known as a Lord? 74.82.228.84 (talk) 21:37, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Edward VI of England → Edward VI – Edward is well known as Edward VI. The latter title is more concise. Векочел (talk) 02:36, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Support, per literally every source cited in Edward_VI_of_England and, consequently, WP:COMMONNAME policy. Surtsicna (talk) 08:27, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Support per nom and Surtsicna - there is no other Edward VI. Ichthyovenator (talk) 23:12, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose, as we should go back to the older style for these monarchs (i.e. "Monarch # of country"). Instead of promoting so much inconsistencies among their article titles. GoodDay (talk) 14:19, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Support. Consistency requires brevity unless there is a need for disambiguation. As in Edward VII and Edward VIII, there is (as yet) no such need. (We would surely not wish to disambiguate Edward VIII as " King of the United Kingdom and the Dominions of the British Empire and Emperor of India"). For consistency on this view, Edward V should be similarly moved. Bjenks (talk) 01:23, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Edward VIII of the United Kingdom & Edward V of England, would suffice. GoodDay (talk) 01:43, 16 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Oppose I agree with GoodDay. We should changes to poorly-thought titles. Dimadick (talk) 12:21, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * An argument or two would be much appreciated. Surtsicna (talk) 13:37, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
