Clean-up needed
This article needs a great deal of clean-up. Please stop removing the template so other editors can be allerted to the need for assistance. Please also see the manual on style. --Evb-wiki 15:14, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Please see Citing sources. This article is nowhere near free from the need for references and clean-up. Do not remove the tags without receiving a consensus. --Evb-wiki 19:27, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Almost all of the linked text jumps to a broken link. They are not formatted correctly, and Dave keeps adding more broken links faster than they can be corrected. --Evb-wiki 19:36, 15 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Nice job cleaning up this article, Dave. Feel free to do more and to work on other articles as well. Cheers. --Evb-wiki 18:08, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

context for intro
Dave, do you think you can provide a brief summary statement concerning the Ritualist controversies to add a bit of context to the intro? That way a reader will have some idea of why Fr. Enraght was pursecuted. --Evb-wiki 18:25, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion, I will start putting something together daveportslade 20:27, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

GA?
This article is one of the best Anglicanism-related articles in Wikipedia. It needs just a bit of guidence to make it to GA and possibly FA. Is there much more work to be done? -- SECisek 22:23, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree. This is very good. On Secisek's talk page there is mention that ...after his death his son became an Anglo-Catholic priest in his Fathers tradition, and his daughter married the Vicar of Walsingham. I can't find marriage,wife, son or daughter mentioned in the article Was he like Cranmer and we weren't supposed to know? By the way, glad to find another constructive Anglican editor. And also I've learned something...knew nothing about Enraght at all. Cheers! Wassupwestcoast 03:38, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Good article nomination
The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question. Article is currently at 7, 339 words, 36,625 characters (no spaces), and 43, 818 characters with spaces. *This article may need to undergo summary style, where a series of appropriate subpages are used. For example, if the article is United States, then an appropriate subpage would be History of the United States, such that a summary of the subpage exists on the mother article, while the subpage goes into more detail.[?] *There are a few occurrences of weasel words in this article- please observe WP:AWT. Certain phrases should specify exactly who supports, considers, believes, etc., such a view. **Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “ All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.” *As done in WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space in between. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2][?] *Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.[?] Grammar: Fragment of a sentence only. Consdier revising: "His promotion of ritualism in worship, and his writings on Catholic Worship and Church-State relationships, resulting in him receiving the maximum penalty under the Public Worship Regulation Act, of prosecution, imprisonment and the loss of his Parish for conscience sake." re-wrote opening with refs dave-portslade 11:16, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at Lead. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.[?]
 * Per Manual of Style (headings), headings generally do not start with articles ('the', 'a(n)'). For example, if there was a section called  ==The Biography== , it should be changed to  ==Biography== .[?]
 * Per Manual of Style (headings), avoid using special characters (ex: &+{}[]) in headings.
 * allege
 * might be weasel words, and should be provided with proper citations (if they already do, or are not weasel terms, please strike this comment).[?] *Please make the spelling of English words consistent with either American or British spelling, depending upon the subject of the article. Examples include: honor (A) (British: honour), honour (B) (American: honor), neighbour (B) (American: neighbor), defence (B) (American: defense), pretence (B) (American: pretense), recognize (A) (British: recognise), criticise (B) (American: criticize),  grey (B) (American:  gray).
 * Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)

Grammar: Is this quotation correctly quoted? "In reply to this personal attack, Fr Enraght sent the following statement to the Brighton Gazette, “My attention has only just be drawn to an attack made upon me, in my absence, by Mr. Gossett, of Portslade." Grammar would have the word be change to been.
 * (now corrected typing error, 'been for be' dave-portslade 17:00, 7 October 2007 (UTC))

Too long for GA?
If you must prune, I am unsure how much the 1880 protest poster or the time line add to the article. -- SECisek 21:31, 10 October 2007 (UTC)


 * started pruning like to keep poster, how much should be deleted ? dave-portslade 11:56, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think you need to do much. Usually the complaint with GA and FA nominations is unbalanced articles: lots of text in one section of the article and very little in another. Of course, somethings are more important than other things. Cheers! Wassupwestcoast 13:41, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't take out too much, maybe a seperate article on his writings could absorb some of the material? -- SECisek 18:07, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Fix the final points above and see what the reviewer says. I think it fine. -- SECisek 16:41, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
