[edit] Steps towards Featured Article status
In light of the international interest in The Da Vinci Code and The Holy Blood & Holy Grail, I think we should radically improve the The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail article in order for it to be featured on the Main Page of Wikipedia.
Before we push the article to Peer review - a step that should always be taken before the Featured Articles Candidates step - , we need to improve the Content and Criticism section and extensively provided references for every paragraph in this article following Wikipedia:Citing sources guidelines. --Loremaster 18:07, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] About the External links
We should follow the Wikipedia:External links guidelines. --Loremaster 20:08, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
- I've removed links to fringe websites and left links to notable reviews. --Loremaster 01:56, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] About See also
According to a Wikipedia rule of thumb: 1) if something is in See also, try to incorporate it into main body 2) if something is in main body, it should not be in see also and therefore 3) good articles have no See also sections. --Loremaster 16:18, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for your suggestion. Done. 16:58, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail

[edit] Removed two phrases
I removed the line that they had no historical proof when this is clearly POV, one can argue that they have provided plenty of proof, it is how the individual chooses to interpet it that matters.
I also removed a paragraph stating that the book was recevied negatively by all historians and critics without any citation or references, if these can be provided then obviously the statement can be put back in 90.209.124.230 (talk) 02:42, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
- I support your removal of the POV line. However, I've restored the paragraph with many citations and references. --Loremaster (talk) 18:38, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
[edit] DNA Testing
The DNA testing edit was not original research but information taken from a Digging for the Truth documentary (season 2 episode 10: "Bloodlines"). However, since the DNA testing was that of a Merovingian Princess rather than that of her husband, the fact remains insignificant. Lung salad (talk) 23:28, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
