Evaluate the article
 Content 

The article does well to stay on topic. Before reading about this, I held zero background information about this exact papel election. After the first section it seemed to move into a biography of the pope elected before Cardinal Goffredo da Castiglione (Pope Celestine IV, elected in 1241). This section was merely to discuss the context of the war happening in the background of the election and was relevant but still long winded and could detract as the "proceedings" of the election are not until more than halfway through the article. However, the content is concise but detailed and is very well written.

Tone

The tone of the article remains neutral in matter of religion and the sides of the war at the time. The context represents the war in a neutral manner than reports both sides equally. The article even references a problematic account of the death of Pope Goffredo da Castiglione.

 Sources 

With a staggering 44 sources of varying types, authors, publishings, and views the sources all seem to check out with bias understood and managed. While many sources are from the church, it seems they balanced with outside materials.
