Ragnall mac Somairle[edit]
- ... that, unlike his father, Ragnall mac Somairle, from the twelfth-century Kingdom of the Isles, endorsed new religious reforms?
Improved to Good Article status by Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk). Nominated by 3family6 (talk) at 16:16, 13 November 2014 (UTC).
Reviewer-in-training here, second opinion wanted. Article is long enough; promoted to GA on 11/11; edited hundreds of times by Brianann MacAmhlaidh; hook is short, interesting, and cited. In the overview I see "Although his father appears to have aligned himself with traditional forms of Christianity, Ragnall's associated himself with newer reformed religious orders from the continent." (For clarity, I would suggest replacing "Ragnall's associated himself with" with "Ragnall himself is associated with".) This is elaborated on in the main text and cited (No. 173). --Rosekelleher (talk) 14:59, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
Sorry, I don't see the hook fact about religious reforms mentioned or cited inline in the article. Footnote 173 refers to "foundations and endowments". Yoninah (talk) 14:26, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
- The hook is based off the summary in the lead. There is no single-sentence, singularly cited statement in the body of the article. The hook is supported by the entire final paragraph in the "Saddell Abbey" section.--¿3family6 contribs 19:24, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
- Do you think you could use the words "religious reforms" in this paragraph, instead of "foundations and endowments", so the hook looks like it's based on something in the article? Yoninah (talk) 20:15, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
- The previous sentence ends with how Sormairle "found newer reformed orders of continental Christianity unpalatable." The following sentence, directly cited, now reads "Whatever the case, the ecclesiastical activities of his immediate descendants, especially the foundations and endowments of Ragnall himself, reveal that the meic Somairle were not averse to such continental orders." Is that satisfactory?--¿3family6 contribs 20:34, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
