[edit] Rochford

A fascinating article! Were Lord Rochford and William Nassau de Zuylestein, 4th Earl of Rochford one and the same person? (Nobility confuses and I wouldn't dare wikilink unless confirmed) ---Sluzzelin talk 01:43, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Nary an inline cite of any kind to be found... Ling.Nut 21:38, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

And so what? Who said that inline citations are a boon for an encyclopaedia? How many inline citations the Britannica has? The article is very competently written, does not contain any controversial claims, that's all that matters here. --Ghirla^-трёп- 12:26, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Britannica has paid contributors, rigid quality controls, and more importantly, absolute control over the final product. Wikipedia has... the need for inline cites. But whatever. Ling.Nut 23:16, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, Britannica has less questions of legitimacy than Wikipedia. I'd agree that in-line citations would be great. There are already page numbers cited here so it wouldn't be terribly difficult. I also agree with the first editor above that this is quite an interesting article. --Midnightdreary 03:54, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] An American?

Am I missing something here? Surely he'd have been a Virginian, Marylander, or whatever before and during the war of Independence? Doesn't being an American follow only once the United States came into existence? Cheers, Neale Neale Monks 13:50, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
