People keep changing the sixteenth century spelling of some of the words in this article into modern spelling (e.g. mariage, breif). Please note that as these are words in titles of sixteenth century works, they are intentionally written in the original spelling and are not typos. Please think and read the text before you correct it!

I have inserted {{sic}} tags, so the problem is hopefully solved. GJ1535 (talk) 16:34, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously the {{sic}} tags do not stop people from vandalism. At least it did not stop Tabletop who simply ignored it, and was the sixth person to "correct" mariage to marriage. I wish there was a way to stop people "correcting" sixteenth century spellings into modern spelling without thinking/reading the context.

Thomas Arthur who was examined for heresy by Cardinal Wolsey was probably not the same man as the nineteenth-century British soldier who received the Victoria Cross to whose article that link goes. Can someone at least disambiguate? I know nothing of this early reformer. J S Ayer (talk) 05:12, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have with deep regret turned blue links red, asking for an article on Thomas Arthur (reformer). J S Ayer (talk) 01:09, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
