Much as I like to see Anglo-Saxon history being expanded on Wikipedia, I have failed to find any mention of "Lindisfaras" in the only source that you cite for this article, i.e. the Blackwell Encyclopaedia! Since "Lindisfaras" isn't actually a heading in the Encyclopaedia, that really needs fixing - either by citing a page, or, failing that, by citing a different source that actually mentions "Lindisfaras". The only relevant tribal name I have seen in the Encyclopaedia is "Lindesfarona", sourced from the Tribal Hidage (Encyclopaedia, p.289). Nor have I seen any explicit reference there to Lindsey's absorption by Mercia in the 8th century, it's only mentioned as a possibility that Lindsey existed until then, if it didn't disappear in the 7th. But it looks like there are a few modern sources cited in the Encyclopaedia from which this article could be expanded, at least a little. Is that the plan?

Bit worried about the reference to "Bede, Ecclesiastical History, IV, 21, p. 240." The Wikisource version of that reference does not seem to say anything about this topic, though generally in book 4 it refers to "the Lindsey People" which seems like a modern version of Lindisfaras. Was IV,21 the reference intended?-- Robert EA Harvey ( talk) 16:43, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
