Michael Francis Egan

 * Nominator(s): Coemgenus (talk) 17:18, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

This article is about Michael Francis Egan, the first Catholic bishop of Philadelphia. It is shorter than my usual fare, but he was only bishop for a few years, and the historical record is fairly sparse. Even so, I hope you'll find this an enjoyable and interesting article. Thanks, Coemgenus (talk) 17:18, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I am currently a Wikicup contender, but I wrote most of this article last year, so I will not be submitting it for points there. --Coemgenus (talk) 17:20, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Comments from jfhutson

 * Not sure post-nominal letters should be bolded.
 * I see from the footnote that before his appointment as bishop the US was one big diocese. I think the reader would be interested to know without seeing the footnote that the "vast diocese" is the entire US.
 * Is there anything you can add about Egan's position on trusteeism before you talk about his actions?

Sources look OK given the subject.--JFH (talk) 15:18, 27 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the review. I've made all of these adjustments now. --Coemgenus (talk) 00:43, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Alright, looks good. The prose is clear and understandable. I've also reviewed the images. Support--JFH (talk) 01:31, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Support on prose and I presume comprehensiveness (I don't know the topic but it appears cohesive) Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:53, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you! --Coemgenus (talk) 12:46, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Closing comment -- This hasn't attracted a great deal of commentary but the reviewers are experienced and the necessary image and source reviews are complete, so given it's been open seven weeks or so and doesn't appear to be a controversial subject I'm going to promote it.
