Talk:Nicholas Ridley (martyr)

GA?

It needs quite a bit of work to get to GA. I have structured the article to some degree and suggest you look at other GA bishops, such as Dunstan to get an idea on how to procede. the first thing that needs to be done is we need to provide in-line citations (see WP:RS) for what we have already. Material to add and cite should then describe his work in the reign of Edward VI. This would be a good a spot to discuss his theology. The period between 1529 and 1540 also is vaccant. Just some ideas. -- Secisek (talk) 07:26, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

I ended up working on this all night (not my plan) and now it is not so far from GA. Add and cite whatever you can.-- Secisek (talk) 11:04, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Good job, it looks much improved after the all-nighter. I managed to get a copy of the biography of Ridley by Jasper Ridley. So I might try tackling this after some other projects. --RelHistBuff (talk) 20:26, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

You need to go after Richard Hooker next. That said, any help would be most welcome. The cites here are very sloppy and - clearly - based off your work at Cranmer. -- Secisek (talk) 07:18, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Given how big the back log is over there, I am going to nominate this for GA now and get it in a position to pass. I never gave this article much thought until someone asked me to offer a few improvement suggestions. Due to his prominent place in Foxe, there is a common belief that he was very important to the formation of the Church of England - a stand which is then often dismissed by scholars as hyperbole. I agreed with the latter assesment. After doing some work here, I see the bishop WAS a very interesting fellow. The truth seems to be, he was more than a mere martyr, but perhaps something less than a true leader of the English Reformation on the level of Cranmer or Hooker. I look forward to seeing where the FA editors take this someday. -- Secisek (talk)

Weasel wording

Phrasing: [This is quoted in Acts and Monuments by John Foxe, who put the story of their deaths to effective use.] It is not, however, in the first edition of the book shows some unfortunate pro-catholic bias - the first edition od Foxe's is generally much worse substantiated by documents than the the following ones, which should be mentioned - the current wording somewhat implies the opposite.--87.249.145.69 (talk) 16:23, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Transubstantiation

I don't understand how the wikipedia entry for Nicholas Ridley makes no mention of this.
