2.25.161.222 (talk) 17:45, 8 February 2023 (UTC)Henry VIII was ruling England for 30 years and his 6th one survived him .he locked people in tower bridge the first was beheaded the 2nd was divorced the 3rd one died 4th divorced 5th behead 6th one survived[reply]
That is totally incorrect as for the fates of his six wives. There is a rhyme that has the proper order. i.e. divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. Catherine of Aragon was divorced, Anne Bolyen was beheaded, Jane Seymour died of complications after giving birth, Anne of Cleves was divorced, Katherine Howard was beheaded, and Catherine Parr survived him. 2600:1700:A9B0:527F:5CAE:B2BD:EE19:C81E (talk) 07:29, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think, in the context of English monarchs, Henry VIII is absolutely one whose article length (currently 11.5k words) should be allowed to be reaching into the 10–15k words category, so I don't particularly feel the {{long}} tag is necessary. — Remsense聊 09:41, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. His significance in constitutional terms justifies this as well as his complicated personal life. Ponsonby100 (talk) 12:59, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
To add, the article on the art critic John Ruskin is 198,749 bytes, whereas this one on Henry VIII is 139,890 bytes. Who is the more significant figure? Ponsonby100 (talk) 14:26, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. His articles in de and fr wikipedia are about the same length if not longer and as to navigation: there are more than a dozen chapters, so navigating to the aspects of his life you are interested in should not be that hard. --Proofreader (talk) 23:59, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
England started the new year on March 25th, and would continue to do so until the middle of the 18th century. In actuality his date of death should be in 1546. Some people can't handle the fact the things in the past were not like they are now. Get over it! 2600:1700:A9B0:527F:5CAE:B2BD:EE19:C81E (talk) 07:32, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The figures in the article reflect the sources it cites.
No, let's not "get over it". While I agree that many historical data shouldn't be silently converted to modern conventions, without adequate explanation the change would confuse much more than it would inform. It's a largely vacant distinction for the purposes of a general encyclopedia article.
level-4 vital article is rated GA-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
