Terrible Sources Used vis a vis Ireland
Can someone explain to me why this article (which, by the way, I am not able to directly edit) cites this [1] undergraduate thesis for anything? The author is so unfamiliar with Ireland that he thinks that the "Ó" in Micheál Ó Siochrú's name is a middle initial (see page 5) and refers to an English Invasion of Ireland in 1117.
Dregne, the undergraduate who wrote the thesis, seems to have largely drawn his argument from Tom Reilly, an obsessive non-academic "historian" from Drogheda who worships Cromwell and whose theories are dismissed by real academics.[2] This article doesn't seem to cite Reilly directly however, which is a step up from the "Historical Debate" section of the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland which gives that amateur pride of place.

The ISSN is actually 0300-337X, as evidenced by the fact that 0330-337X has an invalid checksum (the last digit would have to be a 3, which is already taken by a title in Tunisia). 2603:8001:4542:28FB:C42A:86EF:90BA:97A3 (talk) 01:39, 24 August 2023 (UTC) 2603:8001:4542:28FB:C42A:86EF:90BA:97A3 (talk) 01:39, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Please edit "Episcopalean" to "episcopalean".
Please edit "Episcopalian" to "episcopalian".
Use of the capital creates ambiguity with the Episcopalian Church - i.e. the Anglican Church in the US - esp for readers from the US.
Current code:- It was designed to check the powers of the executive, to set up regularly elected parliaments, and to restore a non-compulsory Episcopalian settlement.
Proposed code:- It was designed to check the powers of the executive, to set up regularly elected parliaments, and to restore a non-compulsory episcopalian settlement. 193.116.206.35 (talk) 05:14, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Biased lede
The phrase "the brutality of his campaign in Ireland" should be removed. Modern historians have argued the atrocities happened under the direction of other generals, after Cromwell had returned to England. (2A00:23C5:C416:A601:8D10:7F9F:F317:B65F (talk) 11:54, 17 March 2024 (UTC))
- to dispute those things, we need presentations from credible historians or experts in 17th British history field that could help ur concern regarding Cromwell's conduct in Ireland Ahendra (talk) 09:26, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
