7) 24 references with over 100 footnotes mentioned, 20 biographies of Cromwell, 11 military studies on him, 11 era surveys and 6 other primary sources listed.

This is the first article I have read on wikipedia that seems complete and citable. This would be quite a good resource to someone interested in his life or accomplishments. This article is thorough and has many reliable resources behind it. Wikipedia has labeled it a good history article and I completely agree. I think it has enough information to be a citable resource itself but if some one has a stigma about the site then it has many many other sources to jump into.
