Checking against GA criteria

 * GA review (see here for criteria)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 *  In this endeavor, the king was following a general strategy of establishing white Catholic institutions in land he had recently won in battle from the Moors of Iberia I know that Cistercians were called "white friars", in the UK, at least, but this reads as a race distinction. ✅
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * References appear OK, the newspaper articles need the work parameter, e.g. LA times, SF weekly; books need page numbers.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * Ok just a few points, on hold for seven days. Jezhotwells (talk) 13:44, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
 * OK that fixes it. I am happy to list this. Congratulations! Jezhotwells (talk) 16:45, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

GA Fixes

 * "White Catholic institutions"... This phrase crept in from Serrano's 1932 monograph talking about los monjes blancos (the white monks) so of course it means "white friars" like in the UK. This is not to say the king was not following a racist policy! He certainly was doing so after winning lands from the Moors, but he was also following a religious policy.
