The only issue found by the Bot was the fivefold expansion. The C of E and since fixed this. Note that while the article is only about 500 characters larger than it was before the expansion, lists were removed and replaced with readable prose. Everything else is fine! Neutral. Sourced. No copyvio.--Coin945 (talk) 05:51, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
