Early life

"... spending eight months over 1668–69 in France". What does "over 1668–69" mean?

Should be "in", I think.

"As a Protestant, George was considered a suitable partner for the niece of King Charles II of England, The Lady Anne". Her name certainly wasn't "The Lady Anne".

Are you saying it should be "Anne"? DrKiernan (talk) 07:40, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I was suggesting "the Lady Anne", but of course we must bow to what the sources say. Malleus Fatuorum 14:15, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We could probably remove the "the". DrKiernan (talk) 14:25, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Both Denmark and Britain were Protestant countries, and Louis XIV was also keen on an Anglo-Danish alliance". What's that "also" doing there?

Removed.

Marriage

"He was made a Knight of the Garter on 1 January 1684,[10] and King Charles gave them a set of buildings in the Palace of Whitehall".

I think we just cut the Garter, so to speak, as it's repeated in the "Honours" section.

Issue

The table looks rather strange with the variable number of columns to the left. Might it be better to centre the birth/death dates where they are the same?

Just learned how to do that!

Sources

There are 100 citations, most of them rather short. Any reason not to use columns here?

No, just an oversight. I usually edit in Explorer so I don't see columns.
Thank you very much for the review, and the copy-edit. DrKiernan (talk) 18:48, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
