Entertainment should be added as it was a large part of many people's lives during this time period. I have taken it upon myself to add it in.

just wanted to add that someone should probably remove that link to "whims" in the sports section. It points to some ominous canadian labor guidelines —Preceding

I see your point, as I would see today as the Elizabethan era as well, and Elizabeth II has reigned a lot longer than Elizabeth I and has seen a lot more events.

This bugs me as well. The Second Elizabethan Era maybe?

Not to be crass, but since when do eras get named before they end? Romantic era poets did not refer to themselves as "Romantic era poets" for example.

Wrong to distinguish the “Elizabethan Era” from the “Tudor period”
The information panel top right (sorry don’t know the technical term) says that the E Era was succeeeded by the Jacobean Era, and preceded by the Tudor Period. Elizabeth I was as much as a Tudor as her four predecessors, who after all were her grandfather, father, half-brother and half-sister. It makes no sense to imply that she is not a Tudor — her era is in the Tudor period. I’m not all that happy with dividing time into ‘eras’ based on whoever happens to be the monarch, but if you insist on it, it would be easier if there wasn't an attempt to have eras in a continuous flow. “Elizabethan Era” would mean quite a lot to most people with an interest in English and British history, but “Jacobean Era” much less so — “which James do you mean?” they might ask — though here it is clearly James I and VI who is being referred to, it could be James II.
I suggest not bothering with the “preceded by” and “succeeded by” information. It’s a rod for your back.

Going by monarchs seem to be the easiest and most convenient way to help visitors form some sense of a timeline, even if there is some overlap. Perhaps it would be beneficial to note that these monarchal eras can occur at the same time somewhere on the page. How would you suggest these "eras" be divided of not by monarchs?

Merge Health and diet in Elizabethan England (Implemented)
Health and diet in Elizabethan England is basically a redundant stub.
Elizabethan era#Social history covers the same subjects, provides more information on those subjects, and provides information of better quality. I suggest the material from the former that isn't already covered by (or contradicted in) the latter simply be added to the latter and the two articles be merged.

Since it's been a while and there have been no stated objections, I will take that as a sign that no-one minds; I will implement the merge soon-ish unless there is a comment opposing the merge made between now and then.
