Tudor period edit

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've added some significant events of the period, tried to cleanup the daily life in period section (which I'm doing at present..), made grammar corrections, etc. I'm aware a few of the references are from rather poor so I don't expect anyone would see this as a WP:GA but I'd like some feedback as to if I am going in the right direction!?, cheers, Nk.sheridan   Talk 22:42, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'm sorry, but I don't really see much future for this article. I'm not sure that it serves any useful purpose. The "Tudor period" is a very broad field of study, far too broad for a single article. There are existing, detailed articles on each of the Tudor monarchs, an article on the Tudor dynasty, other articles dealing with all the great events during the 118-year period. There is no useful role for an article which consists of little more than a few random, scattered facts across a range of topics, with no discussion or analysis.

Your best bet, in my view, is to try and develop an article on a single aspect of Tudor life, e.g. "Schooling in Tudor times". This is just a suggestion, but there were important educational developments during the period, and there are lots of sources to draw on. You might prefer a different topic, but choose one which is well sourced, beyond Britannica or other simplistic internet sources.
