Thanks for the videos – have just included one in the article.
Working on the linked pages would also be useful – both the abbots/bishops/barons (NB not “signatories”) and the settings (improvements to Runnymede have already been requested) and some of the legal revisions along with later effects or interpretation. Lots of the bulleted lists of “clauses in one charter but not another” also need to be tackled (and referenced). Any further help appreciated.

I just linked to [[Abbott of Peterborough]], only a few of those abbots have any biographical details - VCH will supply plenty of useful information, typically more on the latter abbots.

They are currently in <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Magna_Carta> but will probably be moved to a sub-category in a while. The lectures might be helpful for those thinking of improving articles and are looking for a quick guide to issues and interpretations. Of particular interest are a video from the British Library <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Four_surviving_Magna_Carta_to_be_brought_together_for_the_first_time_in_history.webm> and a friendly one from Parliament <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Magna_Carta_and_the_Emergence_of_Parliament.webm>. These are uploaded thanks to a YouTube download/upload script I put together for a WikiprojectMed request. If there are others on YouTube you find with a CC-BY licence, drop me a link by email and I'll get around to taking a look. Unfortunately handling video remains a challenge for contributors, so I think my uploads are the first videos on Commons for this topic.
