Hi Gif. I enjoyed reading this

A couple of minor things:

beseige -> besiege
seiges -> sieges
envisioned - I think *envisaged* is the right word to use
14th May 1649 -> 14 May, 1649


You've got mixed past and present tenses in this sentence. I would suggest:
A series of end-notes place*d* restrictions on what Parliament could do; these include*d* religious freedom and freedom from conscription...

Space need between the link and the date

Cheers h5ringer, it's always nice to get praise from someone with the word 'scout' in their name

Changes made.

Very interesting stuff indeed, though unfortunately I am lacking a 'scout' in my name at the moment . I knew *of* the Levellers before, but felt I should know more, which this entry neatly provided for me.

Pretty much where I was before I began researching this Entry

Hi there perhaps you'd be interested in this

http://www.bbc.co.uk/oxford/features/2004/07/levellers_day_burford.shtml

If you decide to talk about Oxford and it's association I've an entry on Oxfordshire you could link to.

Anyway, back to reading

Both links added

Very good - though I'm always glad to see Cromwell displayed for the tyrant he was.

I thought the boundaries thing was much more prevelant in The Levellers, enclosure of commons being a particular bugbear of theirs - though to be honest it's late at night and I last visited this subject over 20 years ago.

One tiny typo - Reform of parliament so that each MP represented roughly the same muber of people - How many is a muber ?

Hi McKay,

'Levellers' was a derogatary title bestowed by Lilburne's oppponents. It was derogatary because it linked Lilburne to an earlier movement (who called themselves 'The Levellers') whose policy was to tear down hedgerows. This was not the policy of Lilburne's movement, and the original 'Levellers' are now largely forgotten.

I've rewritten the sentence in the Entry that explains this - I hope it's a little clearer there than here!

Fixed the 'muber' typo as well.

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've therefore moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.

If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.

Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!

well done

Hi Giford, I see you're back from your holidays.

The subbed version of your fantastic entry can be found at A34788702

It's practically the same as before, I only added a link and the odd comma.

If´it's fine with you, I'd be happy to return it to the eds.
