New Brighton Tower edit

(

... that the Beatles played at New Brighton Tower (pictured) a total of 27 times, more than any venue except the Cavern Club?

Comment: This is my second nomination (I think)

5x expanded by Staceydolxx (talk). Self nominated at 19:18, 3 July 2013 (UTC).

The hook looks good, length and expansion are good. User is exempt from WP:QPQ. There are some close paraphrases, most of which are unavoidable name-related items, but it would be good to make another check against the sources, and more importantly, do a copyedit for grammar, punctuation and capitalization. Some of the reference links aren't accessible since they're through your library; a plain reference to the newspaper should be satisfactory, and can be accepted in good faith. I've removed the stub tag and have fixed some things, and will do more. With a little cleanup it will be fine. Acroterion (talk) 16:58, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
@Acroterion: I gave this a once over prior to Stacey moving it live and whilst it needs a good copyedit before reaching GA status, I thought this would fly through DYK. Do you have anything specific that needs cleaning up? I'll ask about and see if I can find a copyeditor in the meantime. Worm^TT(talk) 10:36, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

I found a lot of odd capitalizations, some closer-than-desirable paraphrasing (as I said, mostly related to names, so hard to completely eliminate) and awkward grammar on one section, which looked like a product of not enough proofreading, most of which I fixed. I planned to return and do some more cleanup on my own and haven't had a chance, and to see if it was just an isolated section that hadn't had enough attention. I'll make another pass through and see whether anything else causes concern. Acroterion (talk) 22:01, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

I've done some copyediting on my own, and don't have any remaining concerns. Acroterion (talk) 12:22, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Cheers, I did ask a couple of good copyeditors to have a look over it, but neither seemed to get back to me. Worm^TT(talk) 12:27, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
