Jocelin edit
Self-nom. I'm confident the article is factual, neutral and concise, and that it is now of FA quality. Besides my experience with FA articles, two other wiki users have already expressed the same opinion. If there are any issues with it, I believe they are only minor and can be resolved here fairly quickly; hence I'm moving the article on beyond peer review stage and nominating for Featured Article.

- Why is the word Scottish in quotes in some of the text? This is neither consistent nor explained.
- Similarly, why is the word promoted in quotes in the bishop of Glasgow section?
- The sentence It is certainly obvious that Jocelin was one of the most respected figures in the kingdom. is poorly-expressed, since this statement comes before the evidence supporting it. Overall very good, well referenced and clearly-written. TimVickers 23:49, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comments, Tim. The first paragraph of "Early life" should explain why "Scottish" is in inverted commas; "promoted" is in inverted commas because, while many may regard it as a promotion, it was not a promotion in any formal sense. As for the sentence, I guess that's there as one of the many sentences introducing the paragraph's content in the paragraph's first line. I don't know if you'll find these answers satisfactory; if you don't, lemme know and I'll make the necessary changes. Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 06:19, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
