Another excellent article which was very readable and enjoyable. Just a couple of points before I pass.

• "According to Father John Gerard, John's involvement with Essex coincided with his conversion to Catholicism." Presumably John's conversion?
  • Yes, John Wright is the subject of the sentence. Essex's religion hasn't been discussed.
• Maybe I missed it, but is there a date for his conversion to Catholicism or any other details, such as why or where? Ditto for Christopher.
  • No, these kinds of things were generally kept hidden.
• I know it's a pain, but should "the English antiquarian William Camden describing them as men "hunger-starved for innovation"." have a ref directly after the quote?
  • It's one of those things that annoys me about Wiki citing policy. Really, all quotes should carry an inline citation, but as Wikipedia demands that just about every line of prose has a little number at the end, that just leads to a million little blue numbers littering the article. In this case, there is only one citation after the quote so I'm happy its covered. Trust me, there's nothing controversial in here that isn't backed up by the sources used at the bottom.
• Spot check of refs showed no problems. DABlinks, external links and images all OK.

Great stuff again. It's more interesting than I realised, this Gunpowder Plot! --Sarastro1 (talk) 21:57, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

I probably should quibble about the quote, but to be honest, I agree! Other points fine with me, so I'm happy to pass.--Sarastro1 (talk) 23:13, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. This won't be going to FAC so its probably fine. Parrot of Doom 23:25, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
