I've listed this article for peer review because I intend to nominate it as a FAC in the near future. Any suggestions for impoving the article would be very welcome.

Comments from Tim riley
editVery little quibbling from me, I'm happy to say.
- Background and early life
- "Felix came from the Frankish kingdom of Burgundy, although his name prevents historians from conclusively identifying his nationality" – This puzzles me: if he was definitely from Burgundy wouldn't he ipso facto be Burgundian, or to put it another way if historians can't conclusively identify his nationality, how do they know he was from Burgundy?
- It ought to be simple to sort out, but Blair says he "was brought up in Burgundy" and that his name "effectively conceals his nationality"; the ODNB says he was born there. Thoughts? Amitchell125 (talk) 09:31, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
- "lay people and the sick continually sought the counsel of himself and his fellow monks" – I see no justification for the reflexive here rather than a plain "him". If that sounds too blunt, then perhaps "sought his counsel and that of his fellow monks". But the reflexive is a bit too refained for me here.

- Arrival in the kingdom of the East Angles
- 'Manuscript A' … 'Manuscript F' – the Manual of Style would have us use double quotes rather than single.

That's my lot. You might knock on the door of Dudley Miles, who knows at least a thousand times more than I do about the ins and outs of Anglo-Saxon England.
Pray do not neglect to ping me when you go to FAC. Tim riley talk 17:19, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
