[edit] Letters patent

How is the relation homos (in English language) between the concept of a (royal) Charter and a (royal) Letters patent? As far as my eyes can se, there is no references between these two articles. /Tuomas 13:26, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Merge with article on Royal Charter?

Would it be a good idea to merge this article with that on Royal Charter? --Johan Magnus 23:36, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

If you wanted to put sections on Royal Charters and Letters patent in this article, that'd probably be OK I think, but this article should remain where it is and not be a redirect to either. This article is woefully underdeveloped; however, although it is linked historically with Royal Charter, the concept of a "charter" has become applicable in a wide variety of situations that have no immediate connection to royalty. older≠wiser 02:04, Nov 11, 2004 (UTC)
  • The article has evolved considerable since this suggestion. -- 8^D BD2412gab 22:57, 2005 Apr 14 (UTC)
i got no idea what your talking about but i say yes!

[edit] Split into multiple articles accessible from a disambiguation page

I Agree with this suggestion. There are far too many more or less unrelated terms in this article. stufff 14:38, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree as well.- Itsfullofstars 19:32, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
I agree: There are far too many things in this article; to make a disambig may create too many stubs; I still say o for it. YB3 (talk • contribs • Kitten Huffing) 23:49, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Me too. But who's going to do it??? --66.183.115.230 13:04, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
I don't understand what you guys want to do here. You say you want to split them, however, you don't want to make a bunch of small stubs. What other way around it is there? Eric Wester 21:32, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Heck yeah. What does charter school have to do with charter bus? Luna —Preceding comment was added at 14:31, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Article change

I'm hoping that this isn't a contentious change; the article doesn't seem to be too active, and hasn't evolved, though the comments on this talk page seems to agree that it needs to be changed. I think (perhaps) that this change will make it more useful as a reference from other articles, with a more international applicability; I'm certain that it can be much improved by better writers than myself. Giving it a "law connection" seems appropriate, but I doubt that it's high on anyone's list of things wanted. Regards, Notuncurious (talk) 21:19, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
