Citation style
editWhen we have the same source repeated with different page numbers, think using shortened footnotes like this is useful. However I don't want to go changing the citation style unilaterally. Any thoughts? — Strongjam (talk) 14:22, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
- Seems better than the previous citation system. Brustopher (talk) 21:05, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
Uncertain about the "British" lable
edit@GiantSnowman: Given that Morgan died before the Act of Union is it appropriate to refer to him as British? I would have referred to him as English or Welsh, but none of the sources mention which of the two he was born in. I know that there's often massive edit disputes about whether to refer to someone as British or English or whatnot: has any accepted practice emerged regarding this? Does British work in this circumstance? Brustopher (talk) 18:49, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
- @Brustopher: - oh good point. Maybe rename to 'English' to match the categories he is in? GiantSnowman 19:13, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
- @GiantSnowman: I'll do that, but a lot of the sources imply (but don't explicitly state) that he was born in Wales. I guess at this point England includes Wales so it's a fair enough statement to make. Brustopher (talk) 19:29, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
- @Brustopher: true, and birth place doesn't always match nationality. GiantSnowman 19:30, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

Correction of year of birth and death
editI have corrected the year of birth and death according to the information in Dutch biographies. The year of death 1642 is also written on his tomb, so must be correct. --Mark de Nijs (talk) 22:39, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
