@EmerOToole: Just a test, hope this won't bother you with a notification on a friday evening. If you're anything like Professor Gearóid, you might behead me for an electronic message on the sacred weekend. Keenan.Churchill (talk) 20:50, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Some nice work here Keenan – a little more clarity on your suggestions for developments might have improved things further

I agree that “Modern Usage” might be a better heading. However, I disagree with your critique that the section absurdly points out specific usages of the general phrase “to step the tide” or similar. It seems to me that the section remains tightly focused on instances where commentators referenced King Canut.

Some elaboration on what was interesting about the article and what kind of direction and trimming down was needed would have helped your analysis here

I agree that the article is fairly academic in tone. While adding more context might indeed aid the article, do also keep in mind that it should not repeat information from other Wikipedia pages – e.g. the page on King Canut itself.

If the section on The Episode could be more concise, as you advise, what might you cut and why?

Good spot with the Latin sentence as a source and excellent question on the Talk Page.

I agree that most of the sources look reasonably robust, but the page is also lacking any peer reviewed academic material, which makes me think that further research into good sources would help it.
