 * Thank you very much for your speed in addressing this! It's a bit unusual, but seems a very valid use of WP:IAR to go ahead and put this publishable article in place. In case permission for the other can be verified or other contributors want to salvage references or facts from it, I have moved it to Talk:Richard le Scrope/deleted revisions but not yet deleted it.

utriusque juris
Maydestone is clear that Richard was doctor utriusque juris Cantabrigiae, which is to say a doctor both of canon and of civil law. Was he wrong?

Re citations with links
Hi Ealdgyth,

There was an edit conflict just now, and I may have inadvertently deleted your recent changes as I had added considerable new material to the article and cited a number of sources, and didn't know what you have changed, so I simply pasted my new material in again and saved it. Please go ahead and add back in whatever it was you'd changed during the edit conflict. NinaGreen (talk) 16:58, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Warden of free chapel vs churchwarden
Hi SchreiberBike,

I notice you linked Scrope's appointment as warden of a free chapel to the Wikipedia article on the position of churchwarden. I'm wondering whether they're actually the same thing. I don't know the answer to that question, but I have the impression that the former is a clerical benefice, while the latter seems to be an elected position among the lay members of the congregation.

 * I think you're right, he was a Rector (ecclesiastical) before he was a "warden" which makes it nearly impossible for him to have been a lay person and hence a churchwarden. Thanks for noting the problem. I've unlinked "warden" in the article. If you are able to write an article about a "warden of a free chapel," Wikipedia would be better for it. Thanks, SchreiberBike (talk) 21:34, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll see what I can find. It could be a useful addition. NinaGreen (talk) 01:27, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Stephen Scrope, 2nd Baron or 3rd Baron?
Hi User 89.81.153.56,

I see you've changed Stephen Scrope, 2nd Baron Scrope of Masham to Stephen Scrope, 3rd Baron Scrope of Masham. I'm wondering whether you've had a look at the Wikipedia article on Baron Scrope of Masham at, which states that Stephen Scrope was the 2nd Baron? In that article the first three barons are listed as:


 * Henry Scrope, 1st Baron Scrope of Masham (1312–1391)
 * Stephen Scrope, 2nd Baron Scrope of Masham (c. 1345–1406)
 * Henry Scrope, 3rd Baron Scrope of Masham (c. 1373–1415) (forfeit 1415)

Your comments would be appreciated. NinaGreen (talk) 17:51, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
