Talk:The Sealed Knot (reenactment)

message: Up front information: I am a member of The Sealed Knot, so my views can possibly be viewed as a little biassed.
In my opinion the last revision to this article, ie "However in terms of historical accuracy...", is editorialising - at least in the absence of a citable source.

replies: text: Criticism/bashing or hyping of this historical society is purely point-of-view and should be speedily deleted.  Someone keeps sniping at this page for some reason.  I thought I would support the recent editors towards consensus on the removal of the POV bits.Sandwich Eater 14:02, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

==Social Aspect==
There is a huge social aspect to this organisation. Walking around the campsite it is possible to stop just about at every other tent to have a chat to old friends that you haven't seen since the last muster (Re-enactment).
After a hard days fighting, and maybe a few miles walking in full armour, most of the people gather to the beer tent, aptly named for the selling of beer amongst other beverages, and they socialise until they can't take any more and usually roll into the tents, caravans or campervans in the early morning.
Many members have met their life partners in the Sealed Knot and some of the first generation Knotters are having their own children now.
There is a great sense of belonging in the Sealed Knot, as everybody looks out for each other. Parents let their children go out and play with the other children around because they know if another Knotter saw a person in normal clothes coming over to children dressed in period costume they would intervene and make sure the children are safe, so the children have the best of both worlds - protection and the ability to run free.
The children can also take part in learning to fight with the Apprentices, where they learn all the different weapons and arms within the Sealed knot.

message: It looks as though the Peter Young linked to from this page is the wrong British Army officer. Quick checks with the website of the Sealed Knot reveal a different name for his wife, just as an intial indicator. Also, I understood that the Peter Young who founded the Sealed Knot was also a Commando officer, in WW2, rather than in airborne forces.   88.110.29.49 (talk) 16:14, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Incorrect Link to "Peter Young" 

message: Since the page on the English Civil War Society shows a list of its constituent regiments, I've added the list from the SK's site -- Molcher
*I've removed the lists both here and there. The list here was uncited (I assume it could have been cited to the SK's website) and the list there was cited only to the ECWS website. In both cases, I think such a list probably violates WP:NOTDIRECTORY. We do list the official website as an external link, and we don't need to duplicate all the content they have.
