John Hales (died 1608)

• ... that John Hales was fined 1000 marks and imprisoned for allowing two of the Marprelate tracts to be printed at the Whitefriars, Coventry?

• Reviewed: George Ferguson (Lt Governor of Tobago)

Created by NinaGreen ( talk). Self nominated at 21:14, 21 May 2013 (UTC).

• Article new enough, long enough, and adequately cited. Hook short enough, interesting enough, and also cited. Article appears to be neutral and free of copyright violations and plagiarism. Cheers!♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 10:23, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Which mark? §§ Dharmadhyaksha§§ { T/ C} 04:14, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Good point. I've added a clarifying link to the hook. NinaGreen ( talk) 16:54, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Its still not clarifying enough. Mark was a currency used in various countries. Estonian mark, Polish marka, Deutsche Mark, and more. Plus the subject was in England and was mark any kind of currency used there too? §§ Dharmadhyaksha§§ { T/ C} 17:33, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

If you click on the link, it defines it (i.e. in England the mark was a unit of currency, but never appeared as a coin). NinaGreen ( talk) 18:29, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

• Passing per Doc's review if this is the best we can clarify. §§ Dharmadhyaksha§§ { T/ C} 04:34, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
