This looks interesting. Review to follow shortly. J Milburn ( talk) 17:49, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
Short, but well referenced and written. A strong article. J Milburn ( talk) 18:10, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
Ok, I think that this is ready for GA status. It's very well written and referenced, and while I do feel that there's perhaps a little more to be said about it, the article answers all the key questions. I'm promoting now; nice work! J Milburn ( talk) 13:55, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
This article seriously misrepresents historians' view of the Waltham Blacks' links with Jacobitism and I have edited it accordingly.-- Britannicus ( talk) 02:05, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
