Reviewer: Tim riley (talk) 08:26, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've given this article a first read-through, and will give it a second perusal this weekend. I have corrected three typos, but please check that you are happy with my changes. Tim riley (talk) 08:26, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Later. A few minor points before I continue with the review:

  • Lead
    • It isn't obvious to me that "bishop" needs a blue link while "saint" and "priest" do not.
Link for 'bishop' removed. --Amitchell125 (talk) 19:10, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • "Frankish" and "Burgundy" are not blue linked here but are so linked in the main text; they should be linked here, too.
Links moved. --Amitchell125 (talk) 19:16, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Background and early life
    • "Wuffing ruling dynasty" but later "the Wuffings dynasty" – singular or plural?
Change made to 'Wuffingas'. --Amitchell125 (talk) 19:21, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • "Columbanus' disciples, (who..." – comma needed here?
Fixed. --Amitchell125 (talk) 19:31, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • "Higham notes various…" – marathon sentence – could do with being split in two.
Fixed.--Amitchell125 (talk) 19:31, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • "may have originated from" – superfluous "from" here.
Fixed.--Amitchell125 (talk) 19:31, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Arrival in the kingdom of the East Angles
    • "Later sources tend to different from the version" – "tend to differ"?
Fixed. --Amitchell125 (talk) 19:39, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Death and veneration
    • "desecrated" – blue link needed here?
Link removed. --Amitchell125 (talk) 19:39, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • "and maden… … the halige kirke" – why in bold?
Error fixed. --Amitchell125 (talk) 19:39, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • References
    • It is most unusual to put the book titles in both the references and sources sections; usually in the references section they are given just as, e.g., "Lapidge, p. 2", "Swanton, p. 26" and so on, which seems to me easier on your readers' eyes.
I have followed the style used by other editors, e.g. User:Ealdgyth and provided shortened versions of the publication cited instead of the name of the publication in full. Hope this helps. --Amitchell125 (talk) 19:51, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I'm not arguing with Ealdgyth!
    • I have added an online link to the ODNB article; if you wish to retain it, you should drop the Matthew entry in the sources section.

If you will address these points, I shall then press on. Tim riley (talk) 09:03, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
