• The first D'Oyly uses that name, except at the Role in the Anarchy and Barons War section, where there is a name Robert. Do they refer to the same person? WikiCopter (♠ • ♣ • ♥ • ♦ • simple • commons • lost • cvu • onau) 04:54, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
  • There are, unhelpfully, two Robert D'Oyly's; the first built the castle, the second one, his nephew, inherits the castle and is involved in the years of the Anarchy (there's a line at the beginning of the "Role in the..." section). I'm keen to make the distinction between the two clearer if possible! :) Hchc2009 (talk) 17:38, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
    • I don't think you get my meaning; Robert D'Oyly the younger, Robert's nephew, inherited the castle by the time of the civil war of the Anarchy in the 1140s., where above: St George's chapel was endowed with a college of priests by Robert d'Oyly and his close friend, Roger d'Ivry in 1074.... That makes 3 distinct Roberts... clarify which one is meant in the first sentence I gave here. WikiCopter (♠ • ♣ • ♥ • ♦ • simple • commons • lost • cvu • onau) 22:43, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
      • A couple of clarifications made - does that help at all? The first Robert D'Oyly the senior lives until 1091, builds the castle and the chapel. Robert D'Oyly the junior (his nephew), then takes over in the early 12th century. Hchc2009 (talk) 09:27, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
        • Yes, it does.
• Cossley is listed in the biblography but not in the citations.
• Joy is listed in the citations but not the biblography. WikiCopter (♠ • ♣ • ♥ • ♦ • simple • commons • lost • cvu • onau) 15:12, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

• Should be both fixed now. Hchc2009 (talk) 18:59, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

• Section Today should be a level 3 under History. WikiCopter (♠ • ♣ • ♥ • ♦ • simple • commons • lost • cvu • onau) 21:54, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
• At the end of the war the constableship of Oxford Castle was granted to Roger de Bussy before being reclaimed by Henry D'Oyly, Robert's son, in 1154. Which Robert does this refer to? WikiCopter (♠ • ♣ • ♥ • ♦ • simple • commons • lost • cvu • onau) 21:55, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

• Should be sorted now. Hchc2009 (talk) 20:21, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Aside from that, I think the article can be passed. Good job. Wikicopter _{what i do} s + c cup|former 23:07, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
