All the journals are peer-reviewed academic journals, and likewise, the books and e-material are published by respected presses and authored by 20th-century experts in the field./Writings, para 3 needs an inline citation per MOS:SUBSTANTIATE.
Although WP:ALTTEXT is not mandatory, it seems increasingly recommended.

Pass or Fail:
A couple of prose suggestions, for the future perhaps, and certainly nothing to hold up promotion over. (Emphasis on "Suggestions"!) SN54129 17:29, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Duplication of "works" at end of the lead.
Ditto "probably born...probably raised..."
"he became prior of Evesham" -- perhaps "was elected the Abbey's prior" to save duplicating Evesham.
"He had been replaced as prior by 1150" is pretty short; how about combining it with the preceding sentence; as in: "He may have witnessed a further charter of Foliot's in 1133, but is known to have been replaced as prior by 1150".
Should Latin titles use {{lang|la-x-medieval|---}}
I generally don't bother - we use too many templates as it is, honestly. I don't see what that template gains the reader. Ealdgyth (talk) 21:04, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Might be worth linking Relics; it's one of those words that everyone thinks they know but is a bit more specific than they realise.
"a 13th-century manuscript, which is an early collection of some of the works" -- "a 13th-century collection of several of his writings". Tighter and avoids duplicating "works" from the previous sentence.
"that he had altered both by omitting information and adding information" -- perhaps "that he had altered each by both omitting and adding information"?
"is not like Dominic's" -- is dissimilar to?
"according to D. C. Cox" -- now just Cox, introduced in the previous para.
"His most influential work" -- Dominic's, as the last chap mentioned was Cox.
