Untitled[edit]

RODNEY Admiral Lord 1719-1792. He always wrote his name George Bridges Rodney. Because he had noble relatives like the Duke of Chandos whose name was Brydges, spelled with a 'y', many people spell the Admiral's middle name what way. But it is wrong and must be stopped. George Bridges Rodney went to sea in the Royal Navy as a boy and became successively Lieutenant then Captain then Rear Admiral and finally full Admiral. He is buried with his wife in St Mary's church, Old Alresford, Hampshire where he built a large house.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.40.3.65 (talk) 18:16, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Nepotism and self interest section[edit]

I suggest the entire (small) section called "Nepotism and self interest" be removed. It is just opinions, and though they may have a source, it does not seem necessary or relevant. It is easy for editors to use Wikipedia to disparage people from long ago, but the article is just as good without the section. I will wait to see if others object before acting.Argentine84 (talk) 22:57, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
