Which earl is he?[edit]

This article fails to explain why the article is called John Erskine, 18th Earl but he is the 2nd Earl. Shipsview (talk) 20:54, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Moved[edit]

Following the discussion here, I've moved this page so that the subject is disambiguated by date. This is far less confusing than by succession number. Swanny18 (talk) 18:58, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Which Politics?[edit]

United Kingdom politics started with the Acts of Union in 1707. Therefore, this Earl in the seventeenth Century could only act in Wikipedia Politics, not Wikipedia Politics of the United Kingdom.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 21:23, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
