Welcome
editHello, Ced8213 and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.
If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.
Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.
Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.
We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Valfontis (talk) 23:48, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

edit- So far so good. You'll need to expand some of the sections to give the historical evidence that supports what you've stated, not just the citation. Think about what we discussed in our last meeting to offer an example of the "non statements" these men made. Also, you'll want to link your mentions of people like Philip Francis with their articles. You can do this by putting [[ ]] around the names...make sure your use of the name actually links to the article: for example, you refer to Sir Philip Francis, so you'd want to link it like this [[Philip Francis|Sir Philip Francis]] and it will look like this Sir Philip Francis in the article text. Obviously you'll leave off the nowiki command. Other text (rotten borough, etc) can also be linked.
- Your reference style needs help. <ref>"Getting the Vote." The National Archives. Government of the United Kingdom, Web. <http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/pathways/citizenship/struggle_democracy/getting_vote.htm>.</ref> could be more safely expressed as <ref>National Archives (UK), [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/pathways/citizenship/struggle_democracy/getting_vote.htm ''The Struggle for Democracy''], Accessed 2 December 2015.</ref> Please look at the other pages there as well. Britain and the French Revolution has a couple of documents you could use, and they state quite clearly that societies such as this one were infiltrated with government spies, and their ring leaders arrested by 1793. The members had good cause to be nervous about what they said, because there were certainly spies among them! auntieruth (talk) 18:37, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
