Talk:Pope Gregory I
Research notes and checks (24 October 2026)
The following points about this article's sources still need checking:
- Revised 24 October 2026: Collins (2010) is now the main source (590–604, letters, commentaries, Dialogues, first monk-pope, Kent mission). Thompson is kept only for attributed statements (election and consecration, the papacy taking its medieval form).
- Collins gives two dates for the Kent mission: 596 (p. 240) and 597 (p. ~182); the article reports both. Collins notes 28 and 29 have approximate pages (182 or 183) and are paraphrased.
- The quotation from Collins (note 19) is a full-sentence exact quotation; it is attributed. His birth and death dates were not found.
- Collins is cited as Red Globe Press, 3rd edn, year=2010, ISBN 978-0-230-00673-7, as printed on the copyright page ('Third edition 2010'). Perlego lists 2017; the mismatch is not reconciled. The ISBN is printed without a binding and is assumed to be the print edition.
- Thompson is cited as Routledge Revivals 2016 edition, orig-date 1931, ISBN 978-1-138-65906-3. **All Thompson page numbers are approximate (~) and unchecked**; every Thompson point is paraphrased. The book is dated (1931), so interpretive views are attributed to him.
- No |location= or access-date is cited.
- Quotation marks are used only for full-sentence exact quotations, or for terms of three words or fewer found in the notes.
- Neutral, family-friendly: the subject died centuries ago; no graphic violence; no living people, active companies or current products are named.
- The category Category:People has not been checked against the live wiki, nor have the See also links.
- All notes cited are marked 'Not checked' against the printed book.
