Comments
This is going to take a couple passes to get through due to the size of the subject matter. Ajh1492 (talk) 21:58, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
- The Lede needs to better summarize the subject matter, for this length (and complexity) of material I'd expect 2X larger.
- You really want to put references in the Lede? The Lede is supposed to be just a summary of points covered in the article.
- You might want to have a set of see also tags throughout the article.
- "Unexpectedly, Henry of Valois ended up a winner." - How was it unexpected?
- Clunky transition from Henry Valois to discussing the elected kings - you might want to move that paragraph to the top of the section.

What's the status on this review? The more to come was written several weeks ago and nothing has happened since. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 19:55, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
