Due this being a substantial article, the GA review shall be broken into the same sections of the Article, in order to make matters manageable.
Early Life and Education
[edit]- Is it reasonably well written?
- There is a concise coverage of Markus's parents.
- The reference to Ferrostatics, spitfires and the avoidance of enemy internment is an excellent inclusion.
- Education maps out a compromise career choice, relevant to the times and the wartime Essential Work Order.
- There is a good summary of his circle at University and philosophy and the foundation of the Humanitas journal.
- There is a reference to Markus' getting married. This is not resolved elsewhere.
Career
[edit]- Is it reasonably well written?
- This section indicates that marks left Blackfriars in 1950; This glosses over the fact that he left the Dominicans and it may be worthwhile to include same as the article tells he married and had children and grandchildren.
- It is good that there is reference to work on the Donatists who are frequently written off as heretics, unworthy of further attention.
- The reference to the work on Augustine and its conclusion Augustine as a dissenter from the triumphalisism of the post-Constantinian Christianity is an important contribution toward strengthening an unfolding Church History that is the leaven of society and culture and not the emetic.
- The Festchrift The Limits of Ancient Christianity: Essays on Late Antique Thought and Culture draws a worthy academic career to a fitting conclusion.
End Matter
[edit]- It is Broad in its coverage?
- Selected works are good; nearly all can be previewed on Google Books!
- All Sources are appropriate and carry the accessdate; particularly good obituaries are noted.
Conclude Review
[edit]- Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
- Notes are succinct and appropriate.
- Primary References: all from Markus and his works.
- Secondary references were examined as noted earlier.
- It follows the neutral point of view policy.
- Coverage is considered neutral; there is no bias nor leaning toward any particular coverage of St Augustine, the Early Church nor the writings on Pope Gregory I.
- Is it stable?
- This is a relatively new page. It received a lot of views upon creation, and has settled down to the fate of many pages on Philosophy, 5-10 views per day.
- It is illustrated by images and the image displayed is appropriate for a university don.
- Overall:
- Pass
