  • I enjoyed reading this article. It's new enough. Long enough. The hook is cited with a reliable source. Good to go!! Great stuff! Étienne Dolet (talk) 19:13, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
  • - My AGF radar says 'florid prose', and that perhaps it would be a good idea to re-examine the source material and how it might be used as a reference. One particular sentence that stands out being: The neighbouring Gaelic kings and lords sought to take advantage of this, for they had no love of the Vikings. It's very pretty. I'm just not sure it's an appropriate tone. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 19:38, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
  • I've had a look at the wording and changed it so it strikes a more appropriate tone. If you have any other suggestions let me know. Retroplum (talk) 05:23, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
I did some copyedit's myself and sorted out the rest of the tone issues. So I will say this is good to go. It's new enough. Long enough. The hook is cited with a reliable source. Étienne Dolet (talk) 01:44, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
