Merge

I have merged the article Bishop of Lincoln (Catholic) into this one. aliceinlampyland 12:31, 9 February 2006 (UTC).[reply]

William of Alnwick

I think this bishop's name is actually William Alnwick. William of Alnwick was a Franciscan theologian of the century before. Unless someone has sources that say differently, that correction should probably be made. Cvj2000 16:18, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've made the above correction. I'm intending to remove the existing redirect and substitute a disambiguation page so that users can decide whether they want William Alnwick or William of Alnwick. This should remove any problem in case I am wrong about the Bishop of Norwich and Lincoln never having used "of" as part of his name. --Cvj2000 16:42, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate redlinks to people

The links to the bishops often feature two links, using different names, and often both are red-links. For example, under bishops 1183, both Walter de Constantiis and Walter de Coutances are linked. Is there any reason why both should be linked, when both links refer to the same person and will in all likelihood only have a single article about the person.

Assessment

In comparison to other Start class articles this is quite well sourced but is too short for a C. 95jb14 (talk) 19:32, 10 June 2009 (UTC), a member of WikiProject Lincolnshire[reply]

It's pretty complete now. Graded a B––Robert EA Harvey (talk) 09:19, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

pre-Reformation

It would be better to name all sections in this article, and elsewhere, 'Medieval bishops', as pre-Reformation is post hoc history at its worst. Katiehawks (talk) 13:26, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
