Initial comments

edit

I have only a few minor quibbles and a couple of stylistic suggestions:

  • Lead
  • "While archbishop, Sigeric was faced with Viking invasions… The archbishop also advised King Æthelred" – might be smoother with "He" instead of the second "archbishop"
  • Early career
  • "from secular clerics to monks" – I happen to know – only from reviewing WP articles – what a secular cleric is, but not all your readers will, and a link to Secular clergy might be helpful.
  • Archbishop
  • "written by an unknown member of group accompanying" – missing a definite article?
  • "The manuscript mentions the 23 churches in Rome were visited" – missing a "that"?
  • "Rome in the tenth-century" – I'd hyphenate "tenth-century" if using it as an attributive adjective, but not as a noun.

That's all I can find to cavil about. Over to you. En passant, I had never heard of the diocese of Ramsbury and am delighted to make its acquaintance. Tim riley talk 12:52, 22 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

I think I got all these. On Ramsbury - there's a lot of weird ecclesiastical history lurking about in Medieval England... especially around the Norman Conquest, a LOT of dioceses moved about... some of them several times... heh. Ealdgyth (talk) 13:41, 23 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

I may well be adopting "Bishop of Ramsbury" as my alias next time I'm questioned by the police. Meanwhile, no problems with this article for GA. Tim riley talk 19:06, 23 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
