The result of the move request was: Moved to Witchcraft Act 1735 Mike Cline (talk) 15:09, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]


Witchcraft Act of 1736Witchcraft Act 1735 – This Act was actually passed and received Royal Assent in the legal year 1735, on the last day of the year (24 March). It is usually referred to as a 1735 Act. Also, naming conventions for articles about Acts of British Parliaments are to omit 'of'. I doubt this is actually controversial but will err on the safe side; it also needs admin help because the target article currently exists as a redirect to Witchcraft Acts.

  • Comment I did a Google Scholar comparison of both terms and found 3,900 for 1736 and 3,660 for 1735. A quick look at Guiley "Encyclopedia of Witches, Witchcraft, etc." uses 1736. Could you provide a source that can decide such a cloudy result? SLawsonIII (talk) 00:21, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
