vocal appeals to the crowd?

"vocal appeals to the crowd" ?? Does that mean 'speeches'? 'pamphlets, petitions and speeches' is certainly punchier than 'pamphlets, petitions and vocal appeals to the crowd'. DlronW (talk) 14:08, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Levellers and Agitators

The sentence 'Lilburne considered the term pejorative and called his supporters "Levellers so-called" and preferred "Agitators"' is rather misleading, in that it suggests that the terms 'Levellers' and 'Agitators' are synonymous. The Agitators were delegates or representatives elected by their fellow soldiers of some regiments of the New Model Army, a very unusual example of grass-roots democracy emerging in the military. Many of them were Levellers or Leveller sympathizers, but most of the ordinary Levellers were civilians. PhilG (talk) 22:33, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Were the Levellers really 'Left Wing'?

Whilst I can see what might motivate someone to characterise them as such, and think there are contexts where doing so might be justified (such as in the source used), terms such as 'left wing' or 'right wing' are anachronistic to the seventeenth century. Therefore, applying the term 'left wing' without qualification (which wouldn't really fit into an info box) might well give a misleading impression. I would recommend removing it entirely.
