B class review[edit]

B class. But please resolve some issues. Djmaschek (talk) 23:06, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • This statement in the introduction is not mentioned or cited in the body of the article. "He largely withdrew from public life after 1666 and focused on building up his estates in County Sligo." Please fix.
Removed from Lead. Robinvp11 (talk) 16:23, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Introduction: "and was succeeded by his son Arthur". What did Arthur succeed to? The estates? The offices?

  • In paragraph 7 of Irish Confederate Wars, I added this sentence because it was not immediately obvious to me, "Theophilus Jones now joined the Parliamentarian side." I hope this is correct.
I've played with the wording of the entire paragraph which I hope makes sense. Robinvp11 (talk) 16:23, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Post 1653: "but Charles intervened to purchase his interest in the estate." (not clear) I think Charles II made sure that Jones received property of an equivalent value. Please state this, if it is correct.
Corrected; explaining all of it is complex and not really that interesting :), so I think the rewording is a reasonable explanation. Thanks. Robinvp11 (talk) 16:23, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Your edits are satisfactory. Nice work. Thanks. Djmaschek (talk) 00:28, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
