Talk:William Wade (English politician)

Latest comment: 15 years ago by Billinghurst in topic Propose to rename WAAD

Disputing classification as English politician edit

Reading through the above article and more particularly the DNB article (currently being transcribed), I would disagree that this is a typical politician/parliamentarian. While he spent a small proportion of his public life in parliament, much of the remainder seems to be in more public service types role

    • clerkship of the privy council
    • envoy roles
    • servant of the crown or the lead powers of the crown (eg. Walsingham)

Propose to rename WAAD edit

Majority of references for the period refer to as William WAAD, with only occasional WADE. I propose to rename to William Waad, and have a direct from William Wade. -- billinghurst (talk) 17:24, 26 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
