Talk:Robert Walpole

Distant cousin language
Under the section where it talks about the ascension of George I to the throne, it says that he was Queen Anne's "distant cousin." While it's true that, without the Act of Settlement, his place in the line to the throne would have been distant, that's only because of the relatively large number of children people at the time had. They were actually just 2nd Cousins, because of their mutual descent from James I. Thoughts on changing it? OrthodoxLinguist (talk) 19:43, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Blockquotes and the Mobile Version
When viewing on mobile, the first blockquote (i.e. 'Speck says that Walpole's uninterrupted run of 20 years as Prime Minister "is rightly regarded..."') is split by the infobox. This is undesirable/confusing, as it effectively breaks the article mid-sentence. Is there a technical solution to this and, if not, perhaps the article can be reworded so as to avoid such an awkward break? greymullet (talk) 22:46, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

Unreferenced addition to a family tree
86.181.49.123 I have reverted this edit two times it was an unreferenced addition to a family tree see WP:PROVEIT and see also WP:BRD. -- PBS (talk) 13:06, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

Numbered officeholder
Would it be possible to number his position as Prime Minister? Most office holder’s articles feature numbers, such “1st President of the United States” or “3rd President of Mexico”. Should UK prime ministers have that, as well? Or is it because there is no set term limit to the office? Thanks in advance, feel free to ignore. LordVesuvius (talk) 18:11, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
