Savidan, this is a well-constructed short article. It's well-referenced and fairly comprehensive. The writing is good, although the prose aren't quite brilliant.
There are just a few issues which need addressing before I pass the article:
I'll place the article on hold. Please contact me should you have any questions or comments. Cheers, Majoreditor ( talk) 01:34, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

The following sentence occurs in that section: "Two subsequent papal elections may be considered possible exceptions, although they adhered to the laws of the conclave to a great degree: the Council of Constance, which elected Pope Martin V to end the Western Schism, and the papal conclave, 1799-1800, for which Pope Pius VI suspended Ubi Periculum due to the interference of Napoléon Bonaparte.[21]" Both examples are highly inaccurate. The election of 1417 was unique, in that it was authorized by a Council which was retroactively deemed to be Ecumenical and legitimate. In the election of 1417, it was not just Ubi Periculum which was suspended, but also (and more importantly, subsequent papal legislation which had long since rendered Ubi Periculum obsolete. In 1799, when Pius VI died, Napoleon was in Egypt and had been there for months; when he returned, he started a revolution in Paris that overthrew the Directory. He was not involved in suspending any papal constitutions. Trollope, an English protestant with a far from neutral view of the Papacy, and sometimes a flippant attitude, and who relied on unreliable sources, is not a good authority. The whole effort to provide a "Legacy" is strained. Vicedomino ( talk) 04:33, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
