2019 inflation calculator

[edit]

Interesting... according to the BoE inflation calculator when brought into circulation in 1929 the 10 shilling note was worth the equivalent of £32 in 2019 money... When the note was phased out in 1969 it was worth £8.25 in 2019 money. Perhaps this could be included in the article. So it's about time the £10 note became a coin! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.176.46.73 (talk) 19:53, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 5 February 2023

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved. Rough consensus not to move. Some support for moving articles like Bank of England £5 note but a new discussion would be required. (non-admin closure) BilledMammal (talk) 14:27, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]


Bank of England 10 shilling note → ? – The stable title was long "...10s note" until TheCurrencyGuy moved it without prior discussion. Their rationale was: "s" as the abbreviation for the 10 shilling note was rarer than "/–", have compromised between the two by using the full word.

However, this means that this page's title is inconsistent with page titles such as Bank of England £5 note, where "...£5 note" with the pound sign is used instead of "...5 pound note". Therefore, I would like to ask whether we should move the page to "...10/- note" to match TCG's usual abbreviation for the shilling, or to the title of "...10s note".

  • Comment this is a broader thing but there's an inconsistency with the Banknotes of the Australian pound (the only other series of British-origin banknotes where each note has its own article), which use the titling "ten-shilling note", "one-pound note" etc.. It can be easily chalked up to differences between Australian and British style but still worth considering. (Also, can the article actually be moved to "...10/- note"? Wouldn't that cause technical issues?) Bayonet-lightbulb (talk) 11:27, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    It is technically possible to move it to "... 10/- note" since subpages are dormant in the main namespace. However, it would make the talk page into the subpage of the nonexistent "Bank of England 10". NotReallySoroka (talk) 22:15, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support "... 10s note" as nominator simply because it is the stable title. I should be able to opine this because I didn't express a preference to either choice in my nomination statement. Thanks. NotReallySoroka (talk) 22:16, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would also recommend that the page use "10s" instead of "10/-" to match its would-be title. NotReallySoroka (talk) 22:54, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
