William Penn
William Penn
  • ... that the decision in Penn v Lord Baltimore (1750) helped end the 85 year dispute over the Pennsylvania-Maryland border?
    • ALT1:... that the decision in Penn v Lord Baltimore (1750) involved conflicting colonial land grants of five different English monarchs over 136 years?

  • @Legis: Date and length fine. I prefer the original but I can't see an inline citation for the 85 years claim. QPQ not needed as this is the nominator's fourth nomination. No close paraphrasing. I wouldn't reccommend using the picture of Lord Hardwicke as he isn't even mentioned in the hook, the one of Penn would be more appropriate. Ping me when that's done and I'll have another look.

Art: portrait

[edit]

I find it out of order to have an engraving of fat, old William Penn on the top of the sidebar for this article. Nothing in the article refers to Wm. Penn, who as a good Quaker would not have joined in such litigation but have resolved the conflict as amicably as possible. The article is about the conflict that resulted some years after Friend Penn's death involving the intractability of his son and further heirs. Why don't you find a portrait of Springett Penn or whichever Penn was absentee landlord/governor of Pennsylvania at the time the controversy was settled? ~dpablo, seattle — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:602:9200:B330:8529:5804:81FB:7D20 (talk) 23:01, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
