Hi I made a change from the reading on the English Reformation. Henry VIII wanted an annulment and not a divorce, this may seem pedantic but its actually important legally and ecclesiastically. (annulment says the marriage never took place). <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/67.175.134.196|67.175.134.196]] ([[User talk:67.175.134.196|talk]]) 15:57, 30 July 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
I'm sorry but this reads like it was written by a child paraphrasing from a playschool textbook. Shouldn't we try overhauling it? I'm definitely willing to give it a go

Particuarly poor is the bit about health. It seems to conflate life expectancy at birth with how long an adult could expect to live.

I am interested to find more information about how the poor lived during this time. We've all seen grand tudor mansions. What were the poor likely to live in? Unfinished stone? Finished stone? Wood? Adobe? ;) Thatched roof? Shingles?

:I am not sure whether any Wikipedia article gives details of what the wages a working person in Tudor times were, at any rate I wasn't able to find anything to that effect.
:I do hope it does give you some idea of the difficulties of hunting down details pertaining to the common people of the Tudor period. [[User:Dieter Simon|Dieter Simon]] 00:13, 31 July 2006
(UTC) The article conflates the Tudor Period with the Elizabethan Period which is distinct. i suggest cutting out all the Elibethan info. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/12.193.84.162|12.193.84.162]] ([[User talk:12.193.84.162|talk]]) 17:41, 8 July 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
==So, were they all gay?==
Why on earth were grown men sending all that love to each other in letters? Has anybody ever studied why these lads, "loving servants", were sending letters giving "wings of affection" to other grown men? Just what was really going on in Tudor England? Where's [[Peter Tatchell]] when you need him? [[Special:Contributions/86.42.98.32|86.42.98.32]] ([[User talk:86.42.98.32|talk]]) 20:44, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
== First opera ==
The comment about opera in the "Pastimes" section is not really for the general reader, but for Wikipedia editors. Browsing this subject I could not find any reference about Tudor period opera being popular. If anyone can source opera during this period, please re-enter with citing sources.

==Overhaul of Article and Expansion of Article==
I've begun an overhaul of article. Please help if you can. I did the same to [[Stuart period (England)]]. References are always good :) [[User:Nk.sheridan|<span style="color: #0047AB; font-family: Times New Roman; background: #C0C0C0">'''Nk.sheridan'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Nk.sheridan|<span style="color: #708090; font-family: Times New Roman; background: #F0F8FF">''Talk''</span>]] 22:42, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
I've added a couple of sections to the significant events section but there's lots more to add! Some ideas;
*Perhaps a mention on Henry VIII, roots of the [[reformation]] in Pope Clement VII's refusal to grant him a divorce etc.?
*Henry VIII beheading of his wives?
*Entering the slave trade
*colonization of Ulster
*[[John Knox]] 1559
*
It's a long period so there is plenty to do. Cheers, [[User:Nk.sheridan|<span style="color: #0047AB; font-family: Times New Roman; background: #C0C0C0">'''Nk.sheridan'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Nk.sheridan|<span style="color: #708090; font-family: Times New Roman; background: #F0F8FF">''Talk''</span>]] 22:32, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
== Review ==
This article needs to have someone define its scope a bit more clearly. There already is an article [[Tudor dynasty]], which covers the major historical developments of the period. But that still leaves a lot of material not covered there. My best guess, and it is a weak one, might be to place all the politically important developments in the Tudor dynasty article, and maybe retitle this one something like "Everyday life in the Tudor era." A separate series of articles on that theme over the history of the country might not be a bad idea, and it would allow for ready access to that content.

==lead section sounds a bit silly==
it says 'England was economically healthier, more expansive, and more optimistic under the Tudors" than at any time in a hundred years.' does anyone else find this statement a bit strange, considering the Tudor period lasted 115 years and 100 years isn't a very long time in that context. It would be like saying 'England was more optimsitic in the 1960s than at any time in ten years' which wouldn't be saying much and does not deserve to be treated as an incredibly dramatic and grandiose statement as presented here. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/2a00:23c7:2b88:5700:1ccc:ee4a:344b:943b|2a00:23c7:2b88:5700:1ccc:ee4a:344b:943b]] ([[User talk:2a00:23c7:2b88:5700:1ccc:ee4a:344b:943b#top|talk]]) 08:43, 5 August 2020 (UTC)</small>
