edit- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose):
b (MoS): 
- The prose could stand some further work before the article is promoted much beyond GA. For example, the use of semicolons should be curtailed, and more caution should be utilized with commas. Additionally, halfway through the article, you switch from calling the subject “Thomas Nicholas” to “Thomas de Dundee.” Now, I understand you already make mention of that earlier, but you might consider adding a parenthetical note before you switch over along the lines of “Thomas de Dundee (Thomas Nicholas),” or simply using the first name (Thomas) throughout.
- a (prose):
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

- That doesn't happen. He is called Thomas or Thomas de Dundee or Bishop Thomas throughout; he is only called Nicholay in the lead and in relation to the source which calls him that; the relationship here should be transparent from the context.
- Otherwise, I addressed the prose concerns. Tell me if it's ok. Regards, Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 01:05, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
- Based on these revisions, I hereby promote this article to GA. -- jackturner3 (talk) 14:21, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
