James of Aragon (monk)
[edit]- ... that the prince James of Aragon refused to have sex with his wife, renounced the crown and became a monk?

Hook is sourced by a reliable offline source, and all other criteria check out. However, some facts on the introduction are not sourced in the body paragraphs, violating WP:LEAD. Below are some of the concerns that need to be addressed:
- (1) His DOB and death date are not sourced in the body paragraphs.
- (2) Intro says James's mother was from Blanche of Naples, but that is unsourced too.
- (3) "second of his father's four wives" — Needs a source
- (4) "eldest child of King James II" — There is no explicit indication that he was the eldest son of King James II. He was the heir of the throne, but he may have had an older sibling who died before him, who knows. Just make sure to it clear in the body paragraphs.
- (5) "heir apparent to the Crown of Aragon" — This should be linked somewhere in the body paragraphs too.
- Aside from this, the article looks good for promotion. Thanks for the interesting article, Surtsicna! ComputerJA (☎ • ✎) 22:57, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- Honestly, I rarely see sources for DOB and DOD. I rarely see sources for DOB even in featured articles. One of the already cited books does mention both dates and the mother, though, so that won't be a problem. It also mentions King James's first three wives. His widow is not mentioned, but her existence is easy to verify.
- The book says that he was the eldest, and so does the article. I really don't see the problem there. "Eldest child" means "eldest child".
- Done, I think! :) Surtsicna (talk) 00:06, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
Thanks, Surtsicna. Everything seems to be in line. Sorry for being a bit picky with this nomination. I enjoyed the article very much. Best, ComputerJA (☎ • ✎) 00:48, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
