Talk:Inclosure Act

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] spelling

Since this was an act enabled in the UK, I do think it makes much more sense to have the spelling in the English (uk) format rather than the US. At the moment Enclosure_Act redirects to here. Should be the other way round imo. -- RND  T  C  16:15, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Inclosure act is the proper name in all languages --((unsigned|70.72.50.20}}

Follow the links at the bottom - e.g. http://www.ukat.org.uk/thesaurus/term.php?i=18335 - it seems both spellings were used in the UK, but the older references, i.e. from the relevant period, seem to be spelt Inclosure. --Chriswaterguy talk 01:36, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Effects?

It would be good to expand on the effects, if these are documented. A friend tells me that "the enclosure acts were pretty nasty but in the long run they stopped a lot of people starving." --Chriswaterguy talk 01:32, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plural vs. Singular

The text strongly implies that there were multiple acts (repeatedly using plural etc), but the title is singular. Is there a reason for this discrepancy? --Thinboy00 @134, i.e. 02:12, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
