 | This article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus. |

(a) General consensus is the term Roundhead does not reflect current (ie post 1950) usage; so resurrecting it for this individual is a retrograde step. If you want to invest time, I suggest changing the others is a good start.
(b) I'm happy to collaborate but this article has been extensively rewritten by me, using a format and usage employed elsewhere, and assessed as B class. So this drive by editing without any explanation or discussion seems extremely discourteous.
(c) There is no good reason for changing the format; after four years of editing, what I've found is everyone tells you their preferred version is Wikipedia policy.
(d) If you're going to make additions, can you please ensure they're spelt properly. Robinvp11 (talk) 12:44, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
