- 1) I suggest to bring the hook article first in the sentence or unlink "Fifth Monarchist". 2) Curious to learn, is it necessary to use capital in the article title for "Fifth Monarchist" 3) Length: Okay 4) I can not see Page 182, could not verify source! 5) Can you break the article into sections or add infobox (if applicable)? --Tito Dutta (talk) 21:58, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for reviewing!
- Yes, I'm happy to have ALT1: ... that Henry Archer, an English Fifth Monarchist, predicted in 1642 that Jesus would return in around 1700?
- Capitals are used for "Fifth Monarchist" in all the sources that the article cites - it seems to be standard
- Thanks
- I'm sorry to hear this - it works fine for me.
- I wouldn't have though the article is long enough to need sections, but I have done this. There doesn't seem to be enough vital information known about Archer to warrant an infobox. StAnselm (talk) 22:07, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
- Alt1 looks good. Can you please quote the exact sentence from 182-183 of that book please? --Tito Dutta (talk) 11:06, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
- Sure. "Archer dated the 1290 days (interpreted as years) of Dan. 12.11 from the apostasy of Julian in A.D.366 (Julian actually died in 363) and so arrived at the year 1656, when he declared that the Jews would be persecuted by the combined energies of Muhammadans, heathens, and papists, but c.1700 (366 + the 1335 "days" of Dan.12.12) Christ would come from heaven and inaugurate the Millennium (ibid p. 51 - 53)."

- Ah, the footnote, that's the portion I did not read. Well, the citation is alright, unless you can add another citation in support! Can you? --Tito Dutta (talk) 21:49, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
- I'm surprised you think it needs one. This source quotes the actual book (which I have not read): "it is likely, that Christs comming from heaven, and raising the dead and beginning his Kingdom, and the thousand yeeres will be about the yeere of our Lord 1700". I will add that quote to the article. StAnselm (talk) 23:36, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
