Comments

This is not really too far off B-Class but the following would need to be done to get the higher rating (I may be able to do some of this if I get time in next few days if no-one else can):

Lead needs to be enlarged to at least one decent-sized paragraph, summarising the whole article.
Many paragraphs are too small, only a sentence or two -- these should be merged into a reasonable size.
Every paragraph needs at least one citation at the end -- most have this but not all by any means (problem may disappear with merging of short-short paras but without access to some of the sources I can't be sure).
Check similar recent articles like John Francis Jackson for other style points, including how to format book references at the end, how citations go 'outside' punctuation, use of sentence case for headings, use of emdashes for parenthetical clauses, etc.
