GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
The prose could stand some further work before the article is promoted much beyond GA. For example, the use of semicolons should be curtailed, and more caution should be utilized with commas. Additionally, halfway through the article, you switch from calling the subject “Thomas Nicholas” to “Thomas de Dundee.” Now, I understand you already make mention of that earlier, but you might consider adding a parenthetical note before you switch over along the lines of “Thomas de Dundee (Thomas Nicholas),” or simply using the first name (Thomas) throughout.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
I am placing the article on hold in the expectation that the problems mentioned above can be cleaned up. jackturner3 (talk) 15:00, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't happen. He is called Thomas or Thomas de Dundee or Bishop Thomas throughout; he is only called Nicholay in the lead and in relation to the source which calls him that; the relationship here should be transparent from the context.

Otherwise, I addressed the prose concerns. Tell me if it's ok. Regards, Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 01:05, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Based on these revisions, I hereby promote this article to GA. -- jackturner3 (talk) 14:21, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
