www.british-civil-wars.co.uk looks like the likley source of much of this information. WinstonBerni 23:34, 13 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

There seem to be some grammatical errors here and incomplete information. No mention of Cromwell's son, not much contextualizatoin within the civil war

Copyright problem rectified edit

I have removed a paragraph copied into this article from a restricted incompatible licence, see "Revision as of 21:44, 8 January 2008".

This is because Wikipedia Wikipedia:Text of Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License allows commercial distribution, but the current licence used by the British Civil War website is Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share Alike 3.0 Unported, which places a restriction "Non-Commercial — You may not use this work for commercial purposes." which the Wikipedia license does not.

Providing the requirements of the Terms of Use and WP:plagiarism are met there is no reason why information from the British Civil War website can not be summarised and and cited like any other copyright text. But it can not be copied under its copyleft licence into Wikipedia articles because its licence is more restrictive than the Wikipedia licence.

Rewrite edit

If anyone is interested, I am rewriting this article. The present one doesn't have very much information and is poorly sourced; I am reusing most of it, but the structure needs to be dramatically changed. Mr Peregrine (talk) 23:02, 25 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
