Talk:Hygeberht

message: I'll add comments as I go through the article.  A couple of initial points:
*I don't see the first reference, "Williams Kingship and Government" in the list of references.

text:  Thanks Mike, I should get to most of these within the next few days.. (Weddings, what a PITA). Ealdgyth - Talk 15:49, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Think I got it all but the one bit you'd said something about a copyedit for ... Ealdgyth - Talk 22:49, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

text: * That bit about "remaining abbot" may have been a legacy from the old DNB text, not sure. Anyway, it's removed. The ODNB does say that "Hygeberht attested the proceedings as abbot, but the location of his monastery and the date of his death are unknown." so that last sentence is fine.

text: * shortened the second quote - the main point was that the second quote mentions a "full" council and the first quote says "contentious". Ealdgyth - Talk 16:32, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

text: * I actually prefer it with the council, as we've got the quotes that explicitly link the two events, which lends credence to Brooks' argument that the two events were linked. Ealdgyth - Talk 16:32, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

text: *:OK. Mike Christie (talk – library) 18:03, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

text: * I've nixed this part, as the legates aren't mentioned again in this article, and whether they attended or not is probably best left to the council's own article. Ealdgyth - Talk 16:32, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: * that looks fine to me. Ealdgyth - Talk 16:32, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

text: *:OK, done, except that per your comment above I did not expand on Higham's comments here -- I left those in the Council section. Mike Christie (talk – library) 18:14, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

text: * done. Ealdgyth - Talk 16:32, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Further bits... 

message: Truth be told, I'm surprised this article made FA, let alone become the daily featured article.  It doesn't strike me as much better than B-class, even without the hard truth that much of it isn't about the subject at all, but about the geopolitics of the bishopric.  Too much coatrackery to approach FA.   Ravenswing   03:48, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hrm. 

message: This would have to be one of the worst featured articles I've seen on the front page. Less than half the article is actually about the article's subject – instead, just historical background. No images, either, except for a semi-relevant map. I'm happy for this to be a good article, but front-page material? No way.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.148.86.150 (talk) 09:30, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bad FA 

message: Hygeberht's name in a charter can be found at here at Cityark. This might be a useful link within the article, but I'm  not sure where to put it. Hel-hama (talk) 14:42, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, but the TR dates from the 12th century, so it's hardly a contemporary mention. Ealdgyth - Talk 15:43, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  ''Textus Roffensis'' 

message: The map is wholly wrong, for example it shows the post 1974 border with Wales rather than the border from Offa's time, dioceses seem to mostly match current lieutenancy areas such as in Suffolk, Cornwall, Nottinghamshire etc.
The article is riddled with false details such as someone died in July and someone else 141 days later. It uses the term "perhaps" to suggest a possible date for something etc. 
If something is not known and unsourced it should not be in the article.
Frankly I can only find Wikipedia when searching for the Province of Lichfield, have we actually got any verifiable evidence of it's existance or boundaries or timespan?
