Main Review

A very informative article. I took the liberty of correcting a few spellings, and here are a few things i noticed:

• Throughout the article the word 'Geoffrey' is used most of the time he is mentioned- the style might be improved by substituting this with the occasional 'he' etc. The lead section is a good case in point.
• In the section on Geoffrey as an Archbishop, i was a little confused by the first paragraph as it backtracks on itself (it opens with information on 1191 and then goes back to 1189). I might be inclined to make the point when the backtrack happens clearer, or reword the section so that it is completely chronological.
• In the section about Geoffrey in the reign of John, in the third paragraph i think you need to clarify that Geoffrey led the clergy in their refusal to pay royal taxation.
• "Peter of Blois wrote that a number of monarchs considered Geoffrey as a possible successor." Does he mention who these monarchs were?
• A few 'See Also' links i think would be beneficial to the article.

I've done all of the above but the Peter of blois one, because my source doesn't mention what monarchs they were, and the see also, since every possible "see also" link I can think of is linked to in the article. Any suggested ones that aren't linked in the article already? Ealdgyth - Talk 17:28, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

A summary of the most important links might be useful, but i'll leave that up to you.MarquisCostello (talk) 17:57, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

I'll put the article on hold while you look at these points. MarquisCostello (talk) 11:35, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
