Hello, I'm Calvin999 and I am reviewing this article.

Review

• I think if you're going to link queens regnant of England, then you should also link the kings of England and the kings of France.
  • The link leads not to an article about queens regnant of England, but to an article explaining what queen regnant means. I can remove the link if you think it would be better without it. I could also reword it to say "monarchs of England and France", though that is very similar to the lead sentence.
    • No I think it's good, but I thought perhaps for the kings that you could link to a list of kings.  — Calvin999 20:41, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
• In England, Saint Edward the Confessor (r. 1042–1066) was said to be the first monarch to possess the healing power of the royal touch. → Something like this needs to have a citation at the end of the sentence to support it.
  • I copied it over. Surtsicna (talk) 19:24, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

• The diseased was → Shouldn't this be were? As it wasn't just one person who received the medal to wear.
  • Possibly. It seems all the same to me, but I am not the native speaker here :) Surtsicna (talk) 19:24, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
• The placement of the blue background quote box is odd, because it's creating an unnecessary white space to the right of it, underneath the images of the coins.
  • I don't see the white space and, in any case, I wouldn't know what to do with the quote box. I can't move it to the left because of the list and I can't move it elsewhere because it is relevant to the section (and the list). What do you suggest? Surtsicna (talk) 19:24, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
    • Maybe because I have a bigger screen, but the box was interfering with the layout. I've moved it now. ` — Calvin999
• The Henrician practice → Can Henrician be linked?
  • To what do you think I should link it? It refers to Henry VIII, linked in the preceding paragraph. Surtsicna (talk) 19:24, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
    • I know, but some people may not have got that. I've personally never heard of it before.  — Calvin999 20:41, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
