I am nominating this for featured list removal because it fails FL criteria 2 (not much of a lead and all) and has no inline cites. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 20:04, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The introduction is ten sentences and written in Summary style and seems adequate for the topic. A requirement for inline citations is not one of the criteria for featured lists, and seems unnecessary distraction to readers, as the data is not likely to be disputed. Therefore I would suggest keep. Although I would recommend citations be offered for the territories and years of foundation, that should not affect its Featured List award. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 13:13, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have merged several short paragraphs which really didn't need to be separate sections to create one decent length lead, and added a couple of inline citations - I'll work ont he latter further later...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:18, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:V. With regards, Anupam^Talk 23:01, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's looking good now, though I'll wait to see if the coordinators have any issues with the article remaining an FL. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 16:57, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Image fails WP:ACCESS as just yellow or pink is used to denote York or Canterbury.
"dioceses were founded. No new dioceses were then created until the middle of the 19th century, when dioceses were founded mainly in response to the growing population, especially in the northern industrial cities. The latest dioceses were created in 1927. The 44 dioceses are divided into two Provinces, the Province of Canterbury (with 30 dioceses) and the Province of York (with 14 dioceses" I know this is about dioceses, but we seem to have repeated the word seven times in this snippet alone...
"(see also List of cathedrals in the United Kingdom)." isn't this why we have "See also" sections?
Heading should probably be "Diocese (Bishop)"

All done bar the image, I'm lousy with image software (plus I can't think how else to designate the two provinces.......) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:15, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lacking both the inspiration and the skill to fix the access issue with the image, I have resorted to replacing it with a new one...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:48, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
