Historians never refer to Æthelwold by the name of this article, 'Æthelwold of Wessex'. In indexes to academic histories he is usually listed as 'Æthelwold ætheling' or 'Æthelwold, son of King Æthelred I'. I suggest that the article should be moved to one of these, with a slight preference for Æthelwold ætheling. Any other views? Dudley Miles ( talk) 19:24, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
Reading through the article per a request from Dudley Miles; here are a couple of thoughts.
That's everything; the article is in excellent shape. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 19:56, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
Curious: Is that an actual page of Alfred the Great's will? Amazing that it should have survived more than a millenium. (Odd that it doesn't appear at Alfred the Great.) Could make a good FP. Sca ( talk) 14:11, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
I have reverted the edits stating that Æthelhelm became Archbishop of Canterbury. Æthelhelm was a common name - PASE lists 33 men with that name. Athelm or Æthelhelm was A of C and died 926 (not 923), but no expert on the period thinks he was the same man as Æthelred's son. In your first edit you cited Yorke 2001 pp. 30-31. She says there that Æthelred's son Æthelhelm is not recorded after being mentioned in Alfred's will. See also the short entry on Athelm in the online DNB at [7]. (You can get access if you have a British public library card). Dudley Miles ( talk) 21:27, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Would someone mind editing Æthelwold's Revolt and Battle of the Holme to put the uncertainty of the date in there? I would do it myself normally but I'm short on time now and very likely to forget. Thanks so much. — howcheng { chat} 00:24, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
