Chronology

[edit]

I find the chronology confusing. The gang is dated from c. 1327 but seems to have operated earlier. For example, there is reference to the gang's "continuing violence" at the time of Edward II's deposition in Jamuary 1327.

Also, the article says "The high point of the gang's activity was between March 1331 and September 1332.[49] By this time Edward, Earl of Chester (later Edward III)". This is wrong. Edward was crowned king in 1327. Dudley Miles (talk) 09:29, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Archive

[edit]

Something has gone wrong with the archive system, not sure what, I can't find it to fix it. Mujinga (talk) 19:28, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to work fine Mujinga (I just archived your comment!), can you be more exact? ——SerialNumber54129 11:20, 19 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well right now the only thing in the archive is my comment, so that seems odd, surely . Previously, I was expecting to be able to find the GA and FA reviews in the history, but was unable to do so. That's what I meant. But at least they can be accessed via the milestones. Mujinga (talk) 21:53, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Random Peak District picture

[edit]

@Serial Number 54129: Per the cited WP:FAOWN policy, I'm explaining here why I think the generic Peak District photograph doesn't belong in this article and why I removed it (since reverted). This gang seems to have roamed around a large part of the East Midlands, and most of the places mentioned in the article are in the southern and eastern parts of the modern Peak District (Bradley, Stainsby, Duffield, Mackworth – none of them anywhere near Hayfield, where this photo was taken). A random picture of a specific place in the wrong part of Derbyshire doesn't seem to be anything other than decorative to me, and IMO fails MOS:IMAGEREL. I also think there's likely to have been some confusion between the modern High Peak borough and the "High Peak" as a romanticised name for the Peak District in general in the mind of the person who originally included the picture.
