Talk:Proclamation For the Encouragement of Piety and Virtue

Wehwalt is right: The BBC source is inaccurate.
User:Wehwalt, Thank you for the much-needed corrections. I think your edits are correct, and my old material was incorrect. I had lifted it from this BBC article, which I believe contains inaccuracies itself.

As a result, be aware that your corrections actually contradict the BBC source in the footnotes. The solution may simply be to delete the BBC source as a citation. Andrew Gradman talk/WP:Hornbook 21:52, 25 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I read the AfD, I'm sorry, I had totally forgotten this aritcle until I came across the see also. Uh, I would say keep BBC as a reference but don't use it to cite what is obviously wrong.  There must be a backstory to this, I will see if I can find out anything.  Why else would monarchs over the course of over a century issue near identical proclamations?  I appreciate very much your staying involved with the article.--Wehwalt (talk) 03:15, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
