Comments
Lead As a speaker of American English, "mean time" as two words seems odd to me. However, the use of British English is appropriate for this article, since it deals with the First English Civil War. Is "mean time" or "meantime" the BE usage?
 * No, it should be one word, my mistake. Harrias  talk 08:50, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Hull I know what a MP is, but some readers from non-Commonwealth countries may not. Would it be possible to wikilink the term for those who do not understand it?
 * Clarified abbreviation on first usage. Harrias  talk 08:50, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

King Charles demands entry In the final paragraph, the words "civil war" are not capitalized (sentence beginning "This declaration from parliament ..."). Is this intentional?
 * It is. An argument could be made for either version I think. (As it is both a generic civil war, and the specific Civil War.) Unless you feel strongly that it should be capitalised, I'd rather leave it lower-case. Harrias  talk 08:50, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Henry Darley is a redlink. If Darley is not a figure likely to pass WP:GNG, the redlink should be removed. If article creation is likely, I see no problem with the redlink remaining.
 * As he was an MP, he will easily pass GNG. Harrias  talk 08:50, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Throughout article Generally, wikilinks should only be used for the first mention of an article in the text. I noticed that King Charles I was linked multiple times, and maybe a few others. Also, I noticed that parliament is usually in the lowercase. Is this standard usage?
 * The repeat links should be fixed now, and Parliament should be capitalised throughout. Bad habit. Harrias  talk 08:50, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

. That's all I noticed with this article (and half of the statements are more questions than anything else). Hog Farm (talk) 00:13, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review. A couple of those are annoying things I really should have picked up on myself before nominating, but never mind! Harrias  talk 08:50, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Great work! I'll pass the article now. Hog Farm (talk) 19:08, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
