GA Reassessment

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
This article has undergone a reassessment as part of the GA sweeps performed by the Good Article Project Quality taskforce in order to ensure that it still meets the requirements for Good Article status.

Overall, this article is quite good. There are just a few small things that I would like to see:

1. The lead needs to be expanded to summarize the full article.
2. It would really help to explain a few terms briefly the first time they are used: "simony", "published", "promulgated a bull".
3. "Carvajal, a Spaniard and the ambassador to Ferdinand and Isabella, as well as Gonzalo Fernandez de Heredia, and Iberian and archbishop of Tarragona in charge of security, were probably chosen by Borja in his capacity as Dean." - I read this sentence three times and am still confused.
4. The website in the "Notes" section needs an access date.
5. Is it considered standard in this sort of article to not source the information in the tables (I generally prefer thorough referencing, but this might be considered material that is not contentious)? I noticed that, in at least one Papal election GA that has passed its reassessment (Papal election, 1268–1271), citations are given in the tables for "Nationality", "Order and title", and "Elevated". Is it possible to do the same here?

I will place this reassessment on hold to allow for these concerns to be addressed or discussed. Best wishes, GaryColemanFan (talk) 04:01, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Points 4 and 5 have been done CarlosPn (talk) 20:53, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

For the term "promulgated a bull", am I correct in assume that this refers to a Papal bull? If so, adding a wikilink would address my concern there. As for "published", just adding a synonym afterwards in parentheses would be sufficient. GaryColemanFan (talk) 04:48, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

I think that points 2 and 3 have been also sufficiently corrected CarlosPn (talk) 10:13, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Looks like it's all done. I'll close this as a keep. Thanks for your help. GaryColemanFan (talk) 16:32, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
