Ungrammatical gibberish

Footnotes 4 and 7 are incomprehensible. The style of the entire article is in need of an overhaul. --Vicedomino (talk) 06:47, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Vicedomino, yeah, those footnotes are pretty bad. How do you think we should handle it? I agree that the article needs copyediting. Nowearskirts (talk) 06:52, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know where to start. I could come back and copyedit the page for you. Nowearskirts (talk) 07:32, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've made a start. The footnotes are an absolute mess. India.OHC (talk) 08:34, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have fixed most of the worst problems. The paragraph discussing the number of cardinals alive at the death of Paschal II, versus the number of cardinals who actually attended the election, is in need of considerable rewriting. It confuses more than it clarifies, even for an expert who understands the problems. I have tinkered a bit, but much more work is needed. --Vicedomino (talk) 03:12, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Footnote (3)

The following occurs: ", but names were added by later cardinals or were appointed only by later popes (Ugo Lectifredo of S. Vitale, Romano S. Maria in Portico, Pietro S. Adriano), or their existence at the event is no reliable way documented (Giovanni S. Callisto, Pietro Vuilhelmus S. Sabina, Ducale of Ss. IV Coronati, Crisostomo of S. Ciriaco, Amico of Ss. Vito e Modesto)." It seems to say that cardinals added their names to Chacon, which is impossible. Who were appointed by later popes? The entire note is still very confused. None of this is documented, and it seems like original research.

Chacon

Is the reference to Ciaconius' Vitae et res gestae pontificum to the first edition (1601), or to the second edition of 1677 (much corrected, but still filled with errors) by Augustinus Olduin? The work has four volumes; which is to be referenced?

Introduction / Cardinal-electors

I added to the introduction to gave a broader summary of the article, but I think it could still to with a bit of tightening up. I also improved the organisation of the content of the cardinal-electors section, but the sense is still occasionally vague, and the confusing references do not help.

"status" of cardinals, priests, and deacons...

The article currently has the following sentence: "However, the status[clarification needed] of the cardinals, priests, and deacons was unclear from the Pandulf account." What kind of "status" is being referred to? Why are there three categories, cardinals, priests, and deacons? Did the user intend to say "cardinal priests and cardinal deacons"? What exactly is "unclear"?

The sentence is clearly in need of a rewrite.
