Date of birth and place
In the foreword of Robert Harris’ new book Act of oblivion, the author claims to have found the birth date and place of William Goffe. As I don’t have access to the whole book, I wonder if someone else could add this information. Thanks, --Polarlys (talk) 19:25, 5 September 2022 (UTC)


 * I don't remember seeing this, but I'll take a look. Robinvp11 (talk) 00:40, 10 January 2023 (UTC)


 * On page 33 of the novel, Harris repeats the claim made by a 19th century researcher that Goffe was born in Wales. This is already included in the article, and appears to be incorrect. Robinvp11 (talk) 17:32, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

B class review
Please look into the following issues. Otherwise, this is a very readable article about an interesting person. Djmaschek (talk) 21:44, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Last sentence of Legacy is uncited, so I cannot assess as B class. You may use this review: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/aug/30/act-of-oblivion-by-robert-harris-review-master-writer-leads-us-on-17th-century-manhunt.
 * Wars of the Three Kingdoms, paragraph 4: Cromwell demanded an apology from whom? What was the personal insult? It's not clear.
 * When was he promoted major general? Unless I missed it, the article does not say. Since "Major-General" are the first words in the article, this is important.


 * Thanks for picking these up, I've made the suggested changes etc, see what u think :). Robinvp11 (talk) 13:12, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Looks good! B class. Djmaschek (talk) 01:55, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
