  • ... that despite plans for multiple concentric invasions, the only fighting during the First Bishops' War was in north-east Scotland?
  • Source: Brooks 2005: "The only fighting was in northeast Scotland" and Kenyon & Ohlmeyer 1998a: "Between his allies inside Scotland and the concentric blows from outside the country, the king felt confident of victory."

Overall: I assume good faith on the references that I can't access, and it's helpful that the nominator included the relevant text. The promoter can choose the hook. SL93 (talk) 00:25, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Bishops' Wars article?

[edit]

This is a good article but I feel it should somehow be merged with Bishops' Wars? Seems odd to have a detailed article for the FBW but not for the SBW which is arguably a more significant conflict. In any case, lots of duplication here. I'm happy to help with this. What do you think CSJJ104? Jp2207 (talk) 19:28, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure I see the issue. There are several cases where a single article provides a summary of multiple related conflicts while each conflict also has its own article, for example Wars of Scottish Independence or even Wars of the Three Kingdoms. Personally I would say this can provide useful coverage with the higher level article providing additional details of how the events relate and a high level overview, while the lower level articles can provide more details that would be unsuitable in such summaries.
In relation to the specific concerns here, possibly the answer is to create an article for the SBW, something I had previously started and will attempt to finish in the next couple of weeks. We could also possibly update Bishops' Wars to work better as a high level overview? --CSJJ104 (talk) 17:17, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
