Good choice! Discussions of highwaymen wd relate to many others, including topics chose by fellow students; get in touch? - e.g. Gio1291 (ballads on highwaymen), Im 2u (talk) 15:57, 18 October 2015 (UTC) on footpads; --Jfclegg (talk) 20:28, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

internet archive
The internet archive is just a data base of texts - very useful and reliable. Of course that doenst mean that all the texts in the archive are reliable sources! --Jfclegg (talk) 09:09, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

William Spiggot's death
Unless someone on a Wikipedia forum can help you Id say you will have to cite both sources and leave it at that. But I wonder if they executed on a Sunday? Its seems rather unlikely to me. Have a look in Andrea McKenzie's book and perhaps write to her?--Jfclegg (talk) 11:39, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

improvement suggestions
Hi JMChaleat! Regarding Spiggot's article, why don't you add a "see also" section, as well as one with "external links"? It could be a good idea I think. You might also consider adding a "bibliography" section, listing all books you consulted in a more straightforward form than in the footnotes. Put the authors in alphabetical order and use the visual editor, so it will be easier to add all the infos you need.--Navarco (talk) 16:30, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Another article?
Am I right in thinking you are doing a 12 cfu version of this course? If so,why not do another article and perhaps cover one of the topics you would otherwise be orally examined on?--Jfclegg (talk) 07:00, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
 * There is very little bibliograhy on Colonel Jack or Moll Flanders for example, and Fielding's Amelia doesnt have an article at all. The Critical Heritage series could be useful, and the Norton Critical Editions have useful anthologies of critical essays. --Jfclegg (talk) 07:08, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Great - Colonel Jack certainly needs working on, but tread a LITTLE carefully - go onto talk page and say who you are. .Do you want to say a few words tomorrow about what you find interesting? ? We'll be looking mainly at CJ.- You can take your time over a new article. I have left some of my work in progress for you to read  (if you want)  in my file in Cosulich, You cant quote unpublished stuff but it might be helpful to read. Remind me to bring in 2 essays I do have. --Jfclegg (talk) 14:21, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

Various suggestions
Did you find the article by McKenzie on Peine forte et dure in Law and History Review 23 (2005)? Insert a paragraph on the origin of the expression with link explaining why French used in legal terminology? Make link to Wiki fr? I like your article v much by the way! As for Colonel Jack, I think there are other people interested ,so maybe you could divide it up amongst you. Next lesson send out a call? --Jfclegg (talk) 22:53, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Peine forte et dure
Im really not sure that I have an answer - and suspect that this is a question for Navarco, or a Wiki forum - i.e it's not question of reliable sources, impartilaity etc, but of notability and how people use Wikipedia, a really interesting question but not one Im an expert on. I wonder if it would not be a good idea to look at (and maybe add peine forte et dure)  to this article on the use of French in legal matters law french and to the wiki fr equivalent. --Jfclegg (talk) 20:33, 25 November 2015 (UTC) I have recently seen that at sometime in the 18th c a law was passed imposing the use of English. I had though this meant that Latin could no longer be used (as it had been in legal procedures until the early 18th c) but maybe it applied also to French. Im not sure if I could fish this reference out quickly; Im sure that Shoemaker will know! --Jfclegg (talk) 20:45, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
