Article Evaluation[edit]

Hello, I am planning to add on to this article for a course project; here i will evaluate the article in order to assess what aspects i would be able to contribute to. Gregorian Reform

Everything within the article seems to be on topic, the only segment i would look into is the time skip into the investiture controversy but i believe that is likely justified.
The article seems neutral overall, no bias seems to be interfering with any of the facts presented.
I feel like the "central status of the church" segment could enjoy a bit more representation as it is pivotal in understanding the power of the papacy in the middle ages. The enforcement of celibacy could use more representation as well, but as of now the centralization of the church takes priority.
It seems the one online source has its link broken, the other sources are all physical but their topics seem to concern the article at hand.
The talk page is completely bare of any interaction, which doesn't bode well. That is a factor that will need fixing.
The article has been rated as a start-class of top-importance for both the wiki projects of the Middle Ages and Catholicism.

Over all this article seems like the perfect fit for my interests. It is lacking enough information that i can clearly see the aspects in which i can improve it and at the same time being unfamiliar enough for me to encourage me to become for versed in the topic during the process. 72.201.181.172 (talk) 15:56, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm the same poster above. I have added an exposition paragraph to the "Central status of the Church" section, elaborating on the Gregorian Reforms' contribution to the centralization of the Catholic Church of the high and late middle ages: "Before the Gregorian Reforms the Church was a heavily decentralized institution, in which the pope held little power outside of his position as bishop of Rome. With that in mind, the papacy up until the twelfth century held little to no authority over the bishops, who were invested with land by lay rulers; Gregory VII's banning of lay investiture was a key element of the reform, ultimately contributing to the centralized papacy of the later middle ages" MegamanEncyclopedia (talk) 04:03, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
