Please insert the following (including the picture) after "George allowed Pitt to increase taxes, raise armies, and suspend the right of habeas corpus.":

There is a 2002 edition of Thompson available online here which provides more detail. The carriage window was shattered, probably by a pebble and he thought he had been shot. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:21, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've added the text but not the image. There are already 3 images in that section including two Gillray cartoons. DrKay (talk) 07:03, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Bipolar disorder is widely considered a psychiatric, not a psychological diagnosis. Reference DSM5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual Mental Disorders) 2600:1702:4630:5230:C873:1850:BB57:4698 (talk) 04:05, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Bipolar disorder just says "previously known as manic depression, is a mental disorder..." But yes, I think "psychiatric" fits better with the source there, Roberts (2023), so have changed it as suggested. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:24, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Outdated language
I am not a Wikipedia editor and have no idea about standards and so on, hence why I wouldn't dare to edit the page myself, but I would like to point out that this article contains some outdated language that could be improved.
Under the section 'Final years' there is a reference to his deteriorated health and a final relapse of his mental health that he did not recover from, which is worded as 'permanently insane'. The lack of quotation marks seems to indicate that this isn't a direct quote, so I have to assume that it is a dated choice of words by an editor of times past.
I would argue that in current times, using the term 'insane' to indicate mental health problems and/or symptoms is offensive and unnecessarily stigmatising. I would suggest using less problematic language, such as what I wrote above to describe the context.
If the phrasing in question is in fact a direct quote, it would be beneficial to make that clear, so that the phrase can be understood in historical context.
As far as I can see from the sources, Hibbert (1999) certainly uses that word, so yes, maybe the phrase should be in quotes. I see that Fraser (1975) also uses that word, but not in quite that exact context. Maybe "an editor of times past", but more likely one just trying to follow Hibbert and Fraser?
