Order of the Garter edit problems

There are two kinds of problems here. One is that massive edits like this to a long-established article tend to set off automated alarm bells, since such edits are often problematic. The other, non-automated problem, is that a lot of what you seek to add seems to bear the hallmarks of original research and synthesis. Now while original research and synthesis are the core of scholarship, they are not what we seek here at Wikipedia. Our goal is to assemble, in as neutral a way as possible, the best information available from secondary and tertiary sources. I don't want to discourange; but I encourage to follow the links I've provided in this paragraph to learn better what we do here. Don't hesitate to call on me for help; I'm a historian and a bit of an amateur herald myself. --Orange Mike | Talk 23:34, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
