Source contradictions: Death date edit
The Dictionary of National Biography, 1912 supplement biography of Morfill gives the death date as 9 November 1909 whereas our article (sourced to the updated ODNB) gives it as 11 November 1909. I don't have access to the ODNB, so clueless about the anomaly. Pinging Bencherlite the article creator, any idea why? Solomon7968 16:34, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Nicholas II vs Alexander II edit
At least one edition of Morfill's 1902 history of Russia has got the caption Nicholas II instead of Alexander II.
- William Richard Morfill (1902). A History of Russia: From the Birth of Peter the Great to Nicholas II. James Pott.
It is unlikely Morfill wrote two similar historical works of varied time span in the same year. Solomon7968 17:26, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
- Same author, different publishers (UK and US editions, by the looks of things). See the first two entries at Harvard University. BencherliteTalk 17:45, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
