# Talk:Ranulf Flambard

Is this article really to be considered Start Class?  It's not exactly a stub. I think it's well referenced and written. Hopefully someone will have a look and reclassify it.  I have no vested interest here either.  Literally just found it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.75.99.154 (talk) 22:05, 19 March 2008 (UTC) 

WP:Good article usage is a survey of the language and style of Wikipedia editors in articles being reviewed for Good article nomination.  It will help make the experience of writing Good Articles as non-threatening and satisfying as possible if all the participating editors would take a moment to answer a few questions for us, in this section please.  The survey will end on April 30.

I'm on the road and may or may not be able to access the internet reliably. Figured I should let folks know in case the article gets reviewed. Ealdgyth - Talk 14:51, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I've gone through the article and fixed a few minor things, but it certainly meets the GA criteria, so I'm not gonna bother with a more detailed review. I'll leave a few suggestions for improvement though, mostly matters of personal taste and preference

"The story [about Ranulf's niece and the legate] is unlikely to be true." - says who, and why?
"...he would have been about 5-foot-9-inch (1.8 m) tall." It should perhaps be pointed out that this would have been a relatively imposing size at the time, but such a statement would of course have to be sourced.
Personally I prefer to put commas after the author name in refs (Barlow, William Rufus p. 141), but this is a minor thing of course.
Good job, I especially enjoyed the intelligent use of the best of up-to-date scholarship, which is something I find is often missing. Lampman Talk to me! 19:34, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
