I'll be glad to take this review. Initial comments to follow in the next 1-3 days. Thanks in advance for your work on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 04:21, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Initial comments

I didn't make it very far in this one before needing to take a break, but here's a question before I forget it. (Here in the US, nobody tells us much that happened before the year 1776, so you may need to be patient with my questions throughout this review.)

"William Rufus's plans for the invasion of England began to falter" -- I may be losing the thread here, but hasn't WR already crossed the channel and been crowned king? (i.e., should this be Robert who's planning to invade England?) -- Khazar2 (talk) 20:57, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This has now been changed to Robert by another user. -- Khazar2 (talk) 09:33, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

More:

"strengthened it additional central governmental institutions" -- is there a word missing in this phrase?
"after around 1110" -- this can probably be written as "around 1110" or "after 1110", but I'm not sure both modifiers are needed.
I've made various small copyedits as I went for both proofreading and style. Please feel free to revert any you disagree with, and double-check me to make sure I haven't accidentally done more harm than good.

The article appears excellent on this first pass: well written and well sourced, and comparing it to other websites about Henry I, appears to cover all essential points and then some. (Indeed, this is probably ready for a Featured Article candidacy after a little more proofreading.) Thanks for this terrific piece of work. -- Khazar2 (talk) 09:33, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review! Changes made, and the image tags should be correct now. Hchc2009 (talk) 12:35, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
