You should add "Mary of York" as the second child of Edward IV of England and Elizabeth Woodville because I don't see her in the Edward's child and yesturday I saw her. I don't know why she was delated and who done it, but I think that's a shame imagine if pupils searched for informations about this king for a school homework and had bad grade because of this mistake, it would be a pity for them, who trusted Wikipedia.

Yo, Mary of York is already listed under 'Marriage and children'. On your other point... Wikipedia isn't to be trusted  :) SN54129 18:00, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

It's only the infobox she's missing from, possibly because she didn't live to adulthood. Deb (talk) 18:01, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Unhelpful statement

The article currently states Edward "remains the only king in English history since 1066 in active possession of his throne who failed to secure the safe succession of his son." It's not literally true, and there are too many caveats that you would need to add to this statement to make it helpful. Anna (talk) 14:14, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

Error incorrectly describing Edward's actions pre-Towton

It may seem like a minor nit-pick, but the article claims Edward was 'crowned' in London before moving on to Towton to confront Anjou's force. This is not true, Edward was appointed King, but was not crowned such until after Towton. It is actually a moderatly important detail that ought to be remedied.

Well, vox populi, vox dei etc. SN54129 15:07, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Lead image

Which image should be used in the infobox?

• 
  A (current)
• 
  B
• 
  C
• 
  D (needs cropping)

Each have their merits. A is high resolution and was painted c. 60 years after Edward's death. B was painted alongside the painting used as Richard III's lead image, and is near-contemporary, but low-resolution. C is a copy, and is high-resolution. D is contemporary, and consistent with Edward V's lead image. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 23:03, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

• I prefer C, because there is more definition to the face: there are areas of light and shade which shape the face whereas A and D are basic line drawings. C is more in scale whereas A and B have a large head on a small body, which is probably not life-like. Celia Homeford (talk) 14:26, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

  I agree with the above. 2601:743:203:A100:FCFF:770F:E5BB:C797 (talk) 01:32, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Why is Elizabeth I listed as his daughter?

This appears to be a protected emtry, so I can’t just jump in and delete the foolish line. 76.119.2.225 (talk) 19:35, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
