Your cheery and polite note
Two things.
First, I can't for the life of me understand why you'd think I'd know nothing about it. Rushing to judgment in these matters is a terrible thing, and so embarrassing later.
Second, dawdle over to the main page when you've time. It says there, right on top "Misplaced Pages! The free encyclopaedia that anyone can edit." Not "the free encyclopaedia that only those with personal acquaintance of the subject can edit" or, for that matter - tragically - "the free encyclopaedia only those that are not cretins can edit".
So, I suggest you moderate your tone just a smidgen. I might be a little lost lamb in these matters - in your opinion formed in such unfortunate haste - but nevertheless I can edit that damned article.
About the facts of this particular matter: we use the most 'mainstream' view of the matter in our text, and, as the title of the associated article suggests, the mainstream view is that the House was reformed, not that the hereditary peers were 'expelled'. And about the other matter, you may or may not be right. I certainly hasten to point out that we have a reliable source specifically saying editor and one, less reliable, saying patron. Under such circs., best to use a formulation that doesn't come down on one side or another.

- You are editing things you clearly have no knowledge of and from an obvious anti political perspective. Yes, the main page says anyone can edit but I wouldn't edit something about which I had no knowledge or simple didn't like. You are making edits which are both wrong and which you obviously don't like. Misplaced Pages is not a vehicle for that. The House of Lords was not reformed at all. Reforms were proposed but nothing happened. The hereditary peerage were expelled from their house. Its really that simple. Lets stick to the brazen facts.

- And that in itself was considered a reform by many. Actually, most. The relevant article is here; if you succeed in changing the terminology used there, the main article, over the protests of the -er- socialists and neo-Lloyd Georgeians who police it to ensure it stays in line with the mainstream view, I'll be happy to let you change the text in the Sudeley article.
- And believe me, you haven't the vaguest idea what my political - and actual - perspective on the Lords is. Relata refero (talk) 08:39, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
