Comments That's all I have for now. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 18:53, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * "and he later received degrees from the Cambridge University and Oxford University" perhaps you meant to say "from the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford".
 * Indeed! Done
 * "at King's College, Cambridge as " comma after Cam.
 * Done
 * "Clocke?. " don't need that double punc.
 * Done
 * "former is particularly moving" seems like someone's opinion.
 * Clarified
 * "1603 London plague outburst which " link. And shouldn't it be "to which"?
 * "To which" seems better; linked to bubonic plague as I don't think a more specific article exists for that time
 * "more famous Orlando" is "more famous" needed? Encyclopedic even?
 * Changed to "better-known", if that's better? I would say yes, since Edward is minor figure compared to Orlando
 * "c. 1540–1595" if it's only the 1540 which is circa, this should be c. 1540 – 1595.
 * I believe both are uncertain
 * Just checked, and your version makes more sense
 * If this is BritEng (with strong ties I would imagine that makes sense), baptised is with an s, not a z. Check throughout.
 * Standardized, I believe
 * "from Cambridge University and" the University of Cambridge.
 * Done
 * Likewise for "the other place".
 * Done
 * "1591/1592" previously just used two digits on the second year in consecutive year range like this. Check throughout.
 * Standardized
 * "couple would have six" had?
 * Done
 * "quarter shillings split" link specifically not to a generic article about "shilling".
 * linked to Shilling (British coin), instead
 * "notorious" puts some POV on it, any reason why "known" isn't more encyclopedic in tone?
 * Good point, changed to your suggestion
 * "are virtually unknown," by "virtually" do you mean "almost completely"?
 * Indeed, changed to "largely"
 * "characterizes" ENGVAR.
 * Fixed
 * "The works seem considerably routine, described" I would remove Wikipedia telling us how the works seem and stick with "The works are described..."
 * Clarified
 * Could we get row scopes in the table too, for the name of the work?
 * Good point, done now
 * Fix the last row (No other works...) so it doesn't sort, or remove it.
 * Fixed sorting
 * "194r-199v" en-dash.
 * Fixed
 * Harvard errors showing in the hidden categories, have you put a publication year for each use of the sfn template, for instance?
 * Indeed, seems to be a Rayner ref; fixed now
 * Many thanks for this . I believe I've addressed everything, but am happy to take another look should you find more issues. Aza24 (talk) 23:21, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
