Will take this up. I was planning on doing Aberdeenshire, but it's taken. (My comments there: your sentences lack punctuation that would be very useful in parsing longer sentences.)

Not many questions. One ref needs a link fixed. Some grammar fixes and a question about a section that has no inline citations associated with it. Ping me when done. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 00:15, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

Did you know? If you fancy doing so, I always have plenty of GA nominees to review. Just look for the all-uppercase titles in the Television section. Reviews always appreciated.

Copy changes

Lead

• The number of independents fell by two to seven and the remaining seat was won by Labour. Add comma after "seven" (WP:CINS)

Background

• The Liberal Democrats also gained one seat to double their representation while Labour – who received a larger vote share than the Liberal Democrats – lost their only seat. Comma after "representation"
• The Liberal Democrats maintained a total of eight candidates as they had in 2017 and the number of Labour candidates standing fell by one to six. Comma after "2017"

Results

• Is there a citation for the section "Seats changing hands"?

Sourcing and spot checks

I spot checked some of the numbers in the figures instead of specific references, including:

• Ronnie Proctor's votes by round
• James Whitehead's votes by round
• David Fairweather: Ref 17 has an incorrect link. It should be different from ref 16.

I also checked

• 4: Cllr Julie Bell, one of the women whom Moore acted inappropriately towards, has spoken out to publicly condemn the decision by administration leader David Fairweather to readmit the former Lib Dem. Y
• 23: Monifieth and Sidlaw councillor Beth Whiteside becomes the first female leader in the authority’s history., Mr Boyd is the first Independent Provost of Angus, and the first openly gay councillor to hold the post. Y

The Ref 17 issue should be an easy fix.

Images

There is an OGL image of one councillor and a PD-simple composition map.

• • Hi @Sammi Brie:, thanks for the review. I've fixed the commas and the link for ref 17. Checked other links too just in case I'd made the same error elsewhere but they are all good. I've also added the Ballot Box Scotland reference to the Seats changing hands section as it includes the change in political composition for each ward. If there's anything else, let me know.

@Stevie fae Scotland Added the LEAP ref to make the 2017 composition sourced, but that other ref does satisfy my concerns. And ref 17 now checks out. Will pass. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:19, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
