Unlike other British monarchs are Protestant, King George was isn't Anglican, but holds Protestantism in Scotland. 91.213.233.175 (talk) 13:00, 16 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

George III - Slavery

edit

New Wiki user, & not a George scholar: upon reading the “Slavery” section someone called “Pitt” is referenced without first name or understanding of who that is. Reference should be fleshed out. I will leave amendements to someone more invested & certain than me. Putzac (talk) 17:07, 29 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

It's Pitt the Younger, who was one of George's prime ministers. Celia Homeford (talk) 07:14, 30 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
He should probably be disambiguated with his father William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham, who was also a Prime Minister. Pitt supported slavery, because it was "one of Britain's most profitable businesses". By contrast, his successor William Grenville, 1st Baron Grenville passed the Slave Trade Act 1807 and prohibited the slave trade in the British Empire. Dimadick (talk) 14:46, 30 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Would this benefit from a very short inline qualifier, as recommended in MOS:NOFORCELINK?--AntientNestor (talk) 15:17, 30 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
"William Pitt the Younger" is not sufficiently clear and distinct from "William Pitt the Elder"? What additional qualify would you suggest? Martinevans123 (talk) 15:27, 30 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Following the suggestion in MOS:NOFORCELINK: just a very short bit of context so as "not [to] force a reader to use that link to understand the sentence", making it easier for users reading in print or otherwise offline.--AntientNestor (talk) 16:56, 30 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Well yes, sure. But what exactly? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:10, 30 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
I disambiguated from the father[1], so I do not need to be told that he should probably be disambiguated. Celia Homeford (talk) 07:01, 3 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Reign

edit

Queen Elizabeth II is the longest British reign: 70 years. 73.151.82.123 (talk) 03:57, 21 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Very true - and not contradicted by this article, which states that George was the longest reigning male monarch. KJP1 (talk) 06:12, 21 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
