The historical summaries in this article need attention. The frequency of the word "puritan" is a problem, and the idea of a royalist party prior to the calling of the Short Parliament is not accurate.I've also removed the reference to the "middle-class" in the art section because it is far too problematic.

Copying from DrKay's talk per Giano to centralise discussion...
Hi DrKay, Giano is driving a collab towards getting this page up to snuff; obviously your knowledge and command of the sources would be invaluable. I think you are prob best placed to give a steer on how the TOC should look; it seems like atm its veering towards too much emphasis on van Dyck and the US Colonies. I also worry that it may veer too much into a version of the Charles I bio if not steered correctly. Ceoil ( talk) 18:07, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
As the article Charles I of England has almost nothing on international relations, I suggest that we could have a section here. The internal conflicts with Parliament and events surrounding the end of Charles' reign mask the fact that England participated extensively in the conflicts raging on the continent, certainly in the early part of the era. I've been trawling through the 'year' pages from 1625 to look for significant events, and there are quite a few sources cited that attest to England's involvements – I've collected the first few at User:RexxS/Caroline era. Do others feel that such a section would be in scope, or should I consider leaving it to create an addition to the monarch's biography? -- RexxS ( talk) 20:30, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
The lead mentions the Pequot War (but says Massachusetts, when actually the Mystic massacre and many events occurred in Connecticut). This is an area that certainly warrants a sentence or three, but a historian is needed to write it (see Pequot War#Historical accounts and controversies.)) With battles between 1630 and 1637, the Pequot tribe was "exterminated/enslaved" by Puritans, and the article claims that:
This was the first instance wherein Algonquian peoples of southern New England encountered European-style warfare. After the Pequot War, there were no significant battles between Indians and southern New England colonists for about 38 years. This long period of peace came to an end in 1675 with King Philip's War. According to historian Andrew Lipman, the Pequot War introduced the practice of Colonists and Indians taking body parts as trophies of battle. [1] Honor and monetary reimbursement was given to those who brought back heads and scalps of Pequots. [2]
Perhaps Rjensen would have the sources and background knowledge to write a sentence or two about the influence on Native Americans and the use of European-style warfare. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 16:25, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
