• Article is new, long enough, and well-sourced. However the statement that Cunningham was hanged for treason on 6 February 1584 links to pp. 138-9 in a source which doesn't appear to mention him. NinaGreen (talk) 21:34, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

• I took another look, and the text of the article says he was hanged 6 February 1584/5, whereas in the source (p. 139) the entry is dated 9 February. Perhaps you could address that? NinaGreen (talk) 21:43, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Well spotted. Don't know where 6 Feb came from (typo?). I've re-checked all sources and left a description at the talk page. Article now states 9 Feb. Wikiwayman (talk) 18:18, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
