A fact from John and Christopher Wright appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 18 March 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that John Wright (pictured), one of the Gunpowder Plotters, was considered the finest swordsman in Britain?

137.140.197.148 - who are these authors? What books? Which DNB? Please add at the bottom in the usual way? Thanks. Johnbod (talk) 05:28, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Don't bite the newbies - its a pretty good first article. I think the numbers are page numbers (you know like paper .... printed .... in books and stuff) Victuallers (talk) 20:34, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A poisoned pommel laced with opium? Yeah, like that would be an effective murder weapon. LOL 192.12.88.7 (talk) 04:28, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

More than likely, if it had done anything to the good Queen Bess, it might have been some weird, umm, sexual feelings..... lol... I dunno. 192.12.88.7 (talk) 04:30, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Christopher Wright here

I don't believe there's enough information on John's brother, Christopher, to warrant a separate article. I'm confident that with a little bit more work John's article will be ready for WP:GAN, but Christopher's would share so much information (family, upbringing, role, death) that there would surely be a few sentences difference. The ODNB does this also, combines both brothers into one article, and I feel that's how we should do things here. Parrot of Doom 14:17, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense to me. Malleus Fatuorum 14:45, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Seems sensible. You won't be able to use the infobox if you do that though (therefore...I support). Yomangani^talk
- I can create a combined image of the two, and do a similar thing as was done at Moors murders. If nobody objects, what I'll probably do is write Christopher into this article, starting afresh, move it to something like John and Christopher Wright (order of birth), and then redirect Christopher Wright to here. Would that be ok? Parrot of Doom 15:28, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merging now. Will be done by the end of today. Parrot of Doom 10:38, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
