Copuls someone perhaps explain the relationship between these four groups and eucledian geometry? I note that one of them mentions "having a deteminant of 1", so it seems to be something to do withh affine transformations that preserve area. Maybe a few paragraphs pitched at a slightly easier level?

I think what is meant here is to merge the section on classical groups from the article "matrix groups" into this article, where it would fit better. Perhaps, the title would have to be changed to "Classical group". This would allow us to concentrate on the general properties of matrix (i.e. linear)

It's hard for me to follow exactly what is being contested, but my take on groups like SL(n,H) is that these are subgroups of SL(4n,R) preserving a pair of anti commuting complex structures. Thus they are quaternionic in the sense that they have a fundamental representation that is quaternionic. I

I strongly oppose merging "Matrix group" and "Classical Lie group". They are very different topics. A matrix group is any group of matrices. It may be finite, it may have coefficients in a finite field, it may be a topologically discrete subgroup of a classical Lie group, etc. A classical Lie

The determinant of a quaternionic matrix is defined in this representation as being the ordinary complex determinant of its representative matrix. The non-commutative nature of quaternionic multiplication would, in the quaternionic representation of matrices, be

There is no way this article is class B, so I gave it a "Start" rating. The subject has inspired much classical research, many books, and is the backbone in any course beyond "abstract group theory". It deserves a much more inspired article.
