Thanks for taking this on Sainsf.--SabreBD (talk) 11:59, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fairly well-written, only a few comments: Sainsf (talk · contribs) 17:48, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In the lead

When did the High Middle Ages begin? (in "Schools" as well)

Done I linked this to the article - dates are a bit unclear.--SabreBD (talk) 08:17, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

developed into "household schools Closing quotes

Done--SabreBD (talk) 08:17, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Can you wikilink or explain Latin curriculum?

Done--SabreBD (talk) 08:17, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In Sources

It would be good to link Aberdeen

Done--SabreBD (talk) 08:33, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In Schools

Although reading may also have been taught in these schools, the students were probably taught by lay women or nuns What exactly is the contrast for which "although" is used?

Done--SabreBD (talk) 08:33, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In Universities

of which John Mair (1467–1550) was the most important figure "most important" according to whom?

OK, I don't know how to fix this. He was the most important figure and not every supportive statement can be nailed down.--SabreBD (talk) 08:33, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am deleting that statement.--SabreBD (talk) 08:50, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Do as you think proper, the only reason I felt uneasy about it was that such claims should generally come directly from some reliable source. Sainsf (talk · contribs) 08:55, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

About the citations

Ref. 3 needs a page range.

The version used is electronic and does not have them - that is why the title is linked.--SabreBD (talk) 08:33, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fine. Sainsf (talk · contribs) 08:55, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Images

The source of File:Monifeithpictishharper.jpg is unclear

There is no way I can fix that as I did not upload it - so I have deleted it.--SabreBD (talk) 08:50, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That should be it. Sainsf (talk · contribs) 17:48, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

All issues look resolved. I am glad to promote this. Great job! Sainsf (talk · contribs) 08:55, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
