I may consider reviewing this at GA, but please: could all references be placed after punctuation. The Manual of Style should have been consulted long before refs were placed wrongly (or some FAs could have been looked at). MasterOfHisOwnDomain ( talk) 22:11, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
The article does not meet the criteria for quick-fail, you will be glad to know. The GA review can properly begin now.
An informative read, with generally good material. It will need a bit of refining though, and I would like that to be the purpose of this GA review.
The main issue I have is that this is written as if everyone is familiar with all of the religious terms and organisations etc. A great amount of wikilinks need to be established and the article needs to be made a more pleasant read for casual readers.
Lead:
History of the "external" cardinalate in the Middle Ages, Origins and development:
"Titulature of the "external" cardinals and their engagement in the papal government":
There is nothing that jumps out at me beyond this. The list seems to be excellent on its own, so no faults there. The prose is generally good, although some sentences appear clumsy, but can be sorted with little effort. MasterOfHisOwnDomain ( talk) 16:29, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
