Article was rated as “Start-class.” It had only four citations and one of them was a dead link. I tried to work back from the article to what might be the missing references without much success. But in the effort I found much information about Headlam the article needed. Working in this information required much re-writing and re-doing of Sections and Sub-sections. I am doing this editing section by section changing what was 1. Early years to 1. Early years and education. I will say more about the following sections as I get to them.

Changed 1.1 First parish to 2. Ordination and parish ministry and added information about Headlam’s ordination, his five curacies, and conflicts.Vejlefjord (talk) 20:54, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There is a good range of sources, but this is leading to slight uncertainty in a few places. (But article very informative.)
1. In the Poor attendance at church... section, does "cheap theatres" mean 'music halls'?
2. 'Research documented in a pamphlet'. Does that refer to his printed first edition of 'Theatres and Music Halls? (He does not appear to have printed anything else at that time.)
3. Headlam's dismissal by the bishop of London is mentioned several times, which makes the continuity a bit difficult to follow. I am clear that the cause of dismissal was his speech about the theatre as this is mentioned in contemporary newspaper accounts. There was clearly a time-lag. It might be possible to clarify this from press reports, but one of the existing sources may be clear on that.
4. In the section 1878: Marriage and dismissal, the source is quoted as saying " concluded with "above all don’t let us speak with scorn of the ladies who dance on the stage." This may be poetic licence as in the printed text of his talk, that phrase comes in the middle, not the end, of his talk.
Let me know if you want to work on this. Otherwise, I'll have a go myself. Petrosbizar (talk) 15:24, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
