Entry: Oliver Cromwell - A2451322
Author: Mr. Dreadful (Scout. "Out of pure curiosity I dug up Logie Baird, and I asked him what petrified forests see to make them all so scared.") - U651852

Right... I'm actually stuck with this now, especially with regard Cromwell's life before Parliament (which needs quite a decent section).

Can anyone help?

Good to see this is being written to try and give a balanced view of Cromwell. 'The King and the Gentleman' by Derek Wilson had some good info on Cromwell's early life. If you can't find a copy I'd be happy to reread it and answer any specific questions you have. I do remember he was descended from Thomas Cromwell and the family was originally Welsh.

I thought we already had an entry on Cromwell

Nope... there's the one about his name A14116646, but none about the man himself.

When I did that there was an entry on the way I dont remember who, could be in flea market by now.

That was probably this one... I remember mentioning it in the PR thread.

Good no problems

for making that clear

Any chance you might resurrect this 'warts n all' Mr D?

Has any one taken this on if not I will try

There's now an Edited Entry on Oliver Cromwell at A45871040, so this doesn't need to be in the Edited Guide Writing Workshop any more - any chance you could remove it?

Hi Alex

I am not on edit for this copy U651852 Mr Dreadful needs to take it out.

I know, Bob, I was asking him
