Talk:Ranulf I de Soules

Reassessment?
I realize that the reader might like to have more information, but I have researched this topic thoroughly and doubt that any more information will be found after nine centuries. This is about as complete as it can be. Consequently, I respectfully request that this article be upgraded from Start class. Inver471ness (talk) 22:03, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Do you want a peer review or a re-assessment of the its class on the assessment scale. If you want a Peer review, I suggest WP:PR where you need to create a subpage where other users will suggest improvements. If you want a reassessment, read-on. The milhist B-class criteria are great for judging its class. So, if we look at this, it does meet the B-class criteria, it does have references, it does cover the topic adequately, it has a structure, it is grammatically correct, it doesn't have images though this is accepatable given the time period. As such, I have assessed it as B for the Biography project. Regards. Woody (talk) 16:19, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Having consulted M’Michael’s source ,I have removed the material about Ranulf being killed in a border skirmish and there being a monument to this event near Eccles because it is not verifiable. The monument is the Crosshall (Crosshall Cross), and as it bears the Soulis arms, it is presumably connected to that family. Local tradition holds that a Governor of Hume Castle was killed on that spot in a skirmish. Robertson postulates that it is a monument to Nicolas, the father of Sir John de Soulis,the Guardian. There is currently no evidence to support M'Michael’s suggestion that the cross is connected with Ranulf, nor that he may have been killed in battle there.Inver471ness (talk) 04:26, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
