Talk:Cheddar Gorge/GA1

GA Reassessment

This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that may need to be addressed, listed below. I will check back in seven days. If these issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GAR). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions, and many thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this article thus far.

• I'm unconvinced that the major points of the subject are covered adequately. A couple of sentences on the geology of a major landform doesn't really seem to do the topic justice. We're told that the limestone contains fossils. What kinds of fossils?

• Coverage of the area's ecology also seemed a little on the light side.

• There's clearly a road running through the gorge, yet it is not mentioned in the text.

• There are two dead links.[1]

• "Although the majority of the climbs are "trad" or "traditional" there are also some bolted 'sport' routes." This climbing jargon neds to be explained, or the material rewritten to avoid it.

• "The location was recently used as a location for a Cherimeran Tower in 'Resistance Fall of Man'." What's a Chimeran Tower? What's 'Resistance Fall of Man'?

• "Gough's cave, which was discovered in 1903, leads around 1/4 mile (400 m) into the rock-face ...", "The maximum depth of the gorge is 113 m (371 ft)." The article sometimes gives imperial measurements first, sometimes metric. Should be consistent.

• "... that takes water just upstream from the Rotary Club Sensory Garden." Is this Sensory Garden in the gorge? If it is, then why isn't it described in the article? If it isn't, then why is it in the article? Are there any more structures in the gorge?

I believe that the issues raised above have been addressed. Would you be kind enough to take another look and see if there are any other improvements you feel are needed.— Rod ^talk 18:43, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

• • Yes, I agree. I'm happy with the work that's been done, for which thanks. I've now closed this GA Sweeps Review. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 19:12, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
