Talk:Richard Lyons, 1st Earl Lyons

"Lyons School of Diplomacy"
The original form of this section had in the subtitle "Diplomatic legacy: The Lyons School of Diplomacy" and in the text "He founded the Lyons School of Diplomacy...."

This formulation read as if Lyons had founded an academic institution at which he trained diplomats. What is meant by the historians, mainly Jenkins as cited, is the more metaphorical sense of "school", meaning a tradition of intellectual or personal influence, or the people who form part of that tradition over time. I made modest adjustments to the subtitle and text to reflect this, and added an additional reference to Jenkins in the second paragraph as this historian has been a principal advocate for Lyons having had this influence Random noter (talk) 23:42, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

I agree with your alterations. I have made a further few edits to the sentence structure, and added some detail about the other historians who have made similar comments. TrevelyanLittle (talk) 19:48, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
