A fact from Christopher More appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 5 March 2013 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Sir Christopher More, stepuncle of Saint Thomas More, was one of the first officers in the Exchequer with formal legal training?

Henry VIII's Queen

Hi Surtsicna,

On 28 February 2013 you changed 'Henry VIII's future Queen, Anne of Cleves' to 'Henry VIII's future wife, Anne of Cleves', with the edit comment that:

"Henry's queen" sounds weird, much like "Anne's king" would. Anyway, the word is not a proper noun, so it would be spelled "queen".

In future, could you please cite either a specific Wikipedia policy or a reliable source supporting your edit before you make a change of this sort? A reliable source WP:RS, an article by the historian G.W. Bernard ("The Fall of Anne Boleyn" English Historical Review (1991) CVI(CCCCXX): 584-610 doi:10.1093/ehr/CVI.CCCCXX.584), (see [1]) uses precisely the wording to which you object and the capitalization to which you object:

Bernard's article begins:

In May 1536 Henry VIII’s Queen, Anne Boleyn, her brother George, Viscount Rochford etc.

Since there is a reliable source (and doubtless many others could be found, but one is sufficient) which supports the original wording and capitalization, I'm restoring that version.

I'm certain that we could avoid virtually all of these issues if you would take the trouble to cite a reliable source WP:RS, or a relevant Wikipedia policy, on the Talk page prior to making these sorts of changes, rather than simply making a change accompanied by edit comments which speak of things 'sounding wierd' etc. NinaGreen (talk) 21:59, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
