Mitford
Hey! Welcome to wikipedia! And THANK you for expanding Richard Mitford. I went in and changed your and tags to, because i assume you wanted the sources to be in footnotes, not in the main text. That's the general style at Wikipedia, is to put sources in footnotes, which the ref tags produce. I also removed the part at the bottom about not confusing the name with the mitfords. The section you put that in, the section, is designed for automated database reading, and takes a pretty specific format, and doesn't allow references. I wasn't sure where you wanted the comment, so I just took it out, but didn't want you to think I thought it was wrong, it is just in the wrong place. Probably, it would work best up top right in the first sentence. Feel FREE to go to town on the 14th century. It is NOT my area of expertise at all... I studied Anglo-Norman history. Glad to see another person interested in Wikipedia's medieval articles! Welcome aboard, and feel free to ask me questions over on my talk page User talk:Ealdgyth.
