I think that the paragraph on history adds a lot to the value of the article, but that it would benefit from some vigorous editing. As it stands it lacks citations, is sometimes loosely worded, and is overly detailed to the point where it promises to overbalance the article, even when its other paragraphs have been completed. - [[User:Nick Gardner|Nick Gardner]] 22:49, 28 February 2012 (UTC) | |||

a clunky phrase
"90 "elected hereditary peers", who have been elected by and from members who had been granted or inherited hereditary peerages granted by monarchs down the ages" really needs to be rewritten. It does, I guess, actually mean something, but it is not very gracefully stated. Hayford Peirce 15:54, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
