Removed inaccurate tag ‘pecock prose’ because “finest” is being used here not as a hyperbolic value indicator but as a technical description of the cutting.Tag: Manual revert

John Scurr
I changed a line suggesting his standing in the 1918 general election against a liberal allowed the Conservative to win by splitting the vote. This seems to be a rather hard position to substantiate as the Conservative had a a majority larger than the Labour vote, implying that even if the Liberals got all Labour votes, they would have lost. Besides, what is likely more crucial was the splitting of the Liberal vote and Coupon election. So changed the phrasing to remove the suggestion of cause.

Elizabeth Woodville
Minor edits to first paragraph of 'In Literature' section. Named the two other lyric poems ascribed to female authors in Middle English & made question of authorship for "My heart is set upon a lusty pin" more neutral (scholarly texts as recent as 2010 reprint of Alexandra Barratt name it as by Elizabeth Woodville, not Elizabeth of York, so the matter is hardly settled)Tag: Visual edit

Kholstomer
Corrected error in lead - 'Strider' is not a literal translation of 'Холстомер' but an alternative English title. ('Холстомер' literally translates to 'canvas-measurer')
