Dates? edit
The date of birth is probably too early. Charles Matthews (talk) 11:23, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Photo edit

Date of birth and place edit
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)
B class review edit
@Robinvp11: 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.
