Talk:Louisa Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire

Question
Should the article title not be Louisa Montagu, Duchess of Manchester? Craigy (talk) 21:38, August 1, 2005 (UTC)

Article is becoming an accrued mass of poor quality edits
This article needs the attention of an expert in this aspect of British history. Quoting from material at the Chatsworth website is not scholarly sourcing for a British historical subject. The 12 May 2017 IP edit, adding a prurient scene, while sourced, adds nothing to the "Career" section. And thereafter, line after line of material, purported to be factual, appears without sourcing in defiance of WP:REF (which allows for occasional, but not thorough-going exceptions). As it stands, the article is not encyclopedic (and not useful for as a student reading). 67.184.62.39 (talk) 22:57, 10 March 2019 (UTC)


 * I have removed the prurient scene, which seems irrelevant, and supplied some references for other content from the apparently well-researched book by Vane. The article now seems to me to be in better shape, and I have removed the tag suggesting that it contains material which is "off topic". I agree that the Chatsworth website is hardly an impartial scholarly source, but it is likely to have been well-researched. I have therefore added more scholarly references, but left in the references to the Chatsworth website, as they are likely to be more generally accessible.Ntmr (talk) 13:41, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
