Proposed name change

[edit]

I would like to proposes that the title of this article is changed to Declaration of Right. First of all the title as it stands doesn't comply with WP:Definite as it says there that the definite article shouldn't be used at the begining of a title unless it is part of a proper name as in the name of a book, for example. Secondly, the term Declaration of Right has been used in other associated articles such as the Glorious revolution and the Bill of Rights 1688 (somewhat inconsistently up to now but I'm trying to address that also) and thirdly, it distinguishes this declaration from others and follows on logically from Petition of Right. On British Government websites both the terms Declaration of Right and Declaration of Rights are used, so either term is acceptable but usage needs to be consistent accross wikipedia articles.

Incomplete sentence

[edit]

I'm not sure what the author intended, but the second sentence in the section "Buildup to the Declaration" is incomplete. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.143.155.58 (talk) 06:27, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
