Coronation of the British monarch[edit]
Review commentary[edit]
- Notified Wikipedia:UK Wikipedians' notice board, Wikipedia:WikiProject British Government, User:Lord Emsworth, and User:Wehwalt
Matches other criterion but lacking inline citations. Craigy (talk) 13:13, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I'll see what I can do. If everything is in the references listed it should be reasonably straighforward. Dr pda 22:20, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
FARC commentary[edit]
Update: I'm still working on this. The bulk of the article now has inline citations. I will keep going with adding the rest, although any help is welcome. Dr pda 09:47, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I can clear the Catherine of Braganza cite tag; I just need to find the reference over the weekend. That only leaves one, on the "Kings of Arms' crowns" section (unless someone adds some more cite requests). DrKiernan 16:52, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I've cited these sections, however I have some queries about some of the other sources you added.
- The present exceptions are the supertunica and Robe Royal, which both date from the Coronation of George IV in 1821 [35]. Hilliam, Crown, Orb and Sceptre, p159 says The supertunica was made for George V's Coronation in 1911 Does the source you added (Tessa Rose) explicitly mention the supertunica?
- After the Communion service is interrupted, the crimson robe is removed, and the Sovereign, wearing the anointing gown, proceeds to King Edward's Chair,[21]. Reference [21] (the Order of service for Queen Elizabeth) does not explicitly mention the anointing gown. Also she wore a coronation dress in place of two other items of regalia (the purple and crimson surcoats I think), so I am a little confused about the logistics of changing into the anointing gown. Also the anointing gown is not mentioned at this point in the London Gazette description of George VI's coronation (The London Gazette, 10 November 1937, issue 34453, p7055). Unless you have a source for the use of the anointing gown I suggest we remove the reference to it. Dr pda 08:26, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep from barely any inline citations to over 62, fantastic. Judgesurreal777 21:25, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Awesome. I think we need a little more in the lead actually describing the ceremony itself; maybe three sentences. "Participants include..." "The steps involved are..." Marskell 10:35, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I've reworked the lead along the lines you suggest, and also split it into a few paragraphs. Dr pda 11:42, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
