   Pass/Fail:

• General:
  • Per MOS:BLOCKQUOTE, we don't use the curly quotes template.
    • Y Check.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 23:39, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Do we not know anything else about Ingimundr? This article really boils down to the quote and the fact that the guy died. Nothing else is related about him - it's all about the situation before and after his attempt to take control of the Isles. Given this - I have issues with the article being titled with the guy's name - it really is more about the event, and should probably be named for the event, not the guy.
    • Yep, as far as I know this is all that's known of him. I don't know how else to name it other than his name. Would "Assassination of Ingimundr" be a better title?--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 23:39, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
      • I think that would be a better title. Not sure how it'd affect GAN stuff though... Ealdgyth - Talk 13:46, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
        • Ok. I'll move it and this review page. Hope it works.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 00:18, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
        • Looks like it worked.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 00:29, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
• Ingimundr's arrival:
  • "Magnús sent Ingimundr into the Isles" - feels awkward to me - perhaps "Magnús sent Ingimundr to the Isles"?
    • Y Got it.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 23:39, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
  • In the quotation: "and corning upon him by night" - I don't have the chronicle - surely "coming" is meant here?
    • Y You're right. I must have copy-and-pasted the quotation and missed that. Fixed now.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 23:39, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
• I randomly googled three phrases and only turned up Wikipedia mirrors. Earwig's tool shows no sign of copyright violation.

I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow folks to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.
