Reviewer: Jezhotwells (talk · contribs) 11:36, 9 October 2011 (UTC) I shall be reviewing this article against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status.
Disambiguations: Two found, one fixed, I tagged the other as it is unclear what the target should be.[1] Jezhotwells (talk) 11:41, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Checking against GA criteria
[edit]- It is reasonably well written.
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- I agree, source removed. Hel-hama (talk) 13:08, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
Consistency: Book titles are given inconsistently, e.g. The Age of Sutton Hoo and Age of Sutton Hoo; Newton, The Origins of Beowulf , p. 105. needs bibliographic details in the Sources section; The Earliest English Kings and Kings; Palgrave, The Rise and Progress of the English Commonwealth needs bibliographic details in Sources; Rainbird Clarke, R. or Clarke - be consistent; Fitzpatrick-Matthews, Keith (2006). "The ‘Anglian Collection’ of Royal Genealogies". Keith’s History Pages. is listed twice in sources.All in all this is a bit of a muddle and needs sorting out.
- All sorted. Hel-hama (talk) 13:32, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- This is the difficult part. Can an article based upon a few scraps and passing mentions ever be considered broad in its coverage? I shall think on this. On due consideration, this article summarises the few sources about Wehha very well. It is a broad as it can be.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- It follows the neutral point of view policy.
- Fair representation without bias:
- neutral
- Fair representation without bias:

- Pass/Fail:
O'Loughlin
[edit]O'Loughlin appears to try to connect Wehha to the Lombards who lived in Italy at the time and makes the claim that the name Weohstan had no connection to Scandinvia:
- Lindqvist's conjecture that Wehha is a hypocoristic form of the name Weohstan is linguistically not possible, according to O'Loughlin, as Weohstan is a later West Saxon name.[1]
- O'Loughlin notes that Wehha and his father Wilhelm can be linked with a person named Wehilo and his father Weho, who are listed in a genealogy found a manuscript of the laws of Rothari, a 7th-century king of the Lombards.[2][note 1]
However, Weohstan is indeed considered to be the Anglo-Saxon rendering of a Norse name. See references in Weohstan. Should O'Loughlin's claim be presented so uncritically as it is in this article?--Berig (talk) 12:35, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
