[edit] Date and place of death

Encyclopædia Britannica (1911) says:

On the Restoration he was exempted from danger of life by an address of both Houses to the king, but the next parliament (1662) charged him with high treason. Thenceforward for the rest of his life Lambert remained in custody in Guernsey. He died in 1694.

The more recent http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9046943

born autumn 1619, Calton, West Riding, Yorkshire, Eng. died March 1684, St. Nicholas Isle, off Plymouth, Devon

So as other sources listed in the article agree with www.britannica.com it looks as if the 1911 got it wrong. --Philip Baird Shearer 17:37, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sections

The sections template was originally added to the Article page on 01:58, 29 July 2006 by the IP address 68.39.174.238. I moved it here because it is an editorial suggestion and not an aid to the reader of the article --Philip Baird Shearer 09:43, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Editorial suggestion templates normally go on the main article page, and the discussion page for {{sections}} specifically notes this as proper practice. I've moved it back. Matchups 03:16, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Poetic License

I don't think that this sentence is suitable: "Lambert's role in the Civil War and Commonwealth is now largely forgotten" at the beginning of the 'legacy' section. It seems like a particularly large article for somebody who has been forgotten. MC 14:58, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
