Have you looked at the ODNB article I linked to - if you don't have access, drop me an email and I should be able to send you a link that's valid for about five days. May give you some ideas for structure, and I think there was a bit more info in there too. Generally sticking to a fairly striaghtforward chronological layout seems to be easiest for biographies, though I can see why you tried to bring out the different strands of his live in their own sections.

One minor quibble, my Welsh isn't great, but I'm fairly sure that eglwys simply means church so it seems tautological to have both the Welsh and English used together, especially as elsewhere in the article, simple translations are given. David Underdown (talk) 14:34, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

I will have a look at the ODNB article, but let me advise when I can spend time looking. I might be called to an emergency operation center for a few days, possibly working a lot more hours at my "day job." Great deal of flooding going on here just now.

Your point about the translation is been on my mind to address. Thanks for your help. ~Geaugagrrl ^talk 02:44, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

By the way, I haven't stopped watching the article. I usually give two weekends worth of time (about nine days) to see what the editors do to an article. One thing that seriously needs addressing in the Thomas Johnes article is the lead. Cheers, Wassupwestcoast (talk) 03:45, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification of the amount of time allowed. I have been working on it on my sandbox location, hopefully that is OK. I have several new images to contribute too. So I have until this upcoming weekend? ~Geaugagrrl ^talk 03:54, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

I know the GA hold period is so dependent on the individual reviewers that it is a bit of an irritant. I should have specified earlier. I'll see what the article looks like on Sunday evening (11 Jan). Working in your sandbox is fine with me. I tend to just look at the end results anyway.
