Talk:John Minsterworth/Archive 1

Missing references
There seem to be two sources missing from the citations:
 * Sherborne (1980)
 * Bell et al (2001)

 * The GA review would be the perfect time to fix this issue, which remains unsolved, as it is directly relevant the GA criteria on verifiability. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 09:59, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * The nominator clarified the issue on GA review, please check if that addresses your concern or not. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk &bull;&#32;mail) 14:02, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * a lot of the years still don't match:


 * Should Bell et al. and Bell et al. 2001 be Bell et al. 2011?
 * Should Harrison 1841 be Harrison 1832?
 * There are two Carr 2004 in the Bibliography section. Which one is cited?
 * Should Baker 1643 be Baker 1684?
 * Bloomfield 1807 missing altogether.
 * Should Hearne 1770 be Leland 1770 (ie. the author, not the editor)?
 * Plus a lot of the unambiguous short citation links don't work due to slight differences in formatting. I'll avail myself to fixing them once these ambiguities have been addressed. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 14:14, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Good catches. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk &bull;&#32;mail) 14:17, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Please have a look at the above comments. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk &bull;&#32;mail) 14:17, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Parentage, early life, and career, aside from history
"Nothing is known of his early life[.]"

There is not even an estimate of his birthdate in the article. He was knighted; when and by whom?

He owned some estates, centered around Bristol. "He seems to have felt himself to be the social superior of [Sir Robert] Knolles[.]" This suggests that there should be a record of his birth and family somewhere.

A few of the citations refer to Sumption's speculations, which does not seem entirely encyclopedic when the article lacks facts. Also, "He seems..." "...appears..." "Michael Prestwich has suggested..." etc. I hope that somewhere more facts about Minsterworth will be found and included. 162.89.0.47 (talk) 23:20, 10 December 2017 (UTC) Eric
