Talk:John Dudley, 2nd Earl of Warwick

Untitled
I suspect this article is actually meant to be about John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland. Deb 17:00, 17 May 2004 (UTC)

Wilson & Wilson
I am sorry for the trouble with Henry! I have taken the elder one out, as it's unnecessary to give his name. I simply didn't think of it yesterday, that there were two. I used another book by Derek Wilson than you, but I understand as far as regards this John Dudley here it is practically the same (I don't have a copy of the newer one). So I am asking you to forgive me if I replace your last footnote with my Wilson page number, as this would spare the article references one Wilson. Anyway, it only occured now to me you were perhaps planning to add more here; I didn't mean to "filch" the article from you in any way. I hope it's not too long now, not too detailed or "unencyclopedic". Please don't hesitate to add, remove or correct, especially as I am not a "native speaker", and sometimes I am a little doubtful about the right phrase. But that's one of the good things on WP, team work! Buchraeumer (talk) 16:09, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't worry, we're fine. I made the changes because what was here before was just plain wrong, but I am delighted you fixed the rest of it.
 * Yes, it looks like the info in the newer Wilson is very much the same as the older one.
 * As far as two Wilsons, the canonical way to cover that is to cite them as "Wilson 1981, p. x" and "Wilson 2004, p. x". If I add anything else from the newer book, I'll make that change.
 * I like the way you've handled "Earl of Warwick" as a courtesy title in the opening paragraph.
