Nice and short, just the way I like 'em. ;-)

• Can you clarify this for me: "He was regarded as a saint after his death ...". Seems a bit vague. Was he actually canonized, or was it just that some people thought of him as a saint?

He's "pre-process" as a saint. He was never formally canonized, and I don't show any sign that he was ever "approved" later like Peter of Canterbury was. He's considered a saint because he's listed on calendars of saints. Ealdgyth - Talk 19:15, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

• "In the 1090s, his remains were translated to a shrine ...". Could that be changed to something more obvious like "moved" without any loss of meaning?

• The prose needs tightening in a few places. Do you know a good copyeditor who might be able to help?

Gee. I don't know. Good copyeditors are worth their weight in gold, do you have a recommendation? Ealdgyth - Talk 19:15, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

That's it, nothing much to be concerned about there, so I'm putting this article on hold. --Malleus Fatuorum 12:41, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm happy with the article now, so I'm listing it as a GA. --Malleus Fatuorum 21:05, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
