wiki article #3 - Oliver Cromwell

This article goes over the life and time of Oliver Cromwell. It is pretty sparse however concerning the first 40 years of his life, focussing the most on his role in the English revolution. After this point it is fairly detailed. Considering the fact that Cromwell in many ways "came out of nowhere", this is not unextpected. Not only does it go over his life and death, but it also covers some influences he had over the next hundred years following his death.

1. This article is over 9000 words long.
2. Search string: Oliver Cromwell. direct result.
3. The disambiguation link references a locomotive train, an actor, and a Monty Python song about Oliver Cromwell.
4. under this discussion page it is noted that this article is rated a GA (good article) in a couple different areas.
5. this article seems to have had over 1000 edits begining in 2001
6. 9 external links
7. 23 references
8. no further reading links

This article seems to be very well put together. It has quite a few different perspectives given about Oliver Cromwell. Given that it is quite lengthy and still has been given a good article status i would definitly recomment this article to anyone needing to learn about Oliver.
