[edit]Did a cheeky little drive-by edit, changed hyphens - to dashes – in page ranges, auto edded, cite edded, changed date to year, rewrote sentences to use wikilinks without pipes where possible, hypenated isbns. All suggestive, rv as desired. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 14:37, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

- Apologies, looking at it, I'm more concerned with how it reads, than simplifying the wikilinks :) Robinvp11 (talk) 15:40, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
Map
[edit]I've added some bits to the article but in doing so on one of my last edits the formatting for the bigger of the two maps has gone wrong it now appears in the skirmish section of the article rather than the background section even though it isn't located there in the wiki markup. Can anyone who knows how to use/format maps fix this please? Many thanks, TheBestEditorInEngland (talk) 10:46, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
I moved the map for you. But I don't think that it looks very good. It's too crowded. I don't think that it's needed. Most articles on the First English Civil War have a single localized map that relates to the specific battle being discussed. It's OK to discuss the background of the battle mentioning other cities, but I don't think that a general background map is needed. Just my opinion. Thanks, Virgil VFF0347 (talk) 02:56, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
- I've made this point elsewhere, but both my university and Sandhurst lecturers always started with Where and Why. Most articles on the English Civil War (and indeed, throughout Wikipedia) don't bother explaining the background, so they don't have the map. Mine do, and not everyone reading this knows where these places are. I've simplified it to reduce clutter as requested.

Casualties
[edit]Apart from this letter, which is useful, I can't find any mention of casualties - in fact, Historic England suggests any firing was minimal, and the long-held claim the church was used for gun positions is untrue). The writer seems to be referring to the opposition, soldiers were and are notoriously unreliable in claims :)|, so I think there needs to be another source.
