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)
