Should have this one to you within a day or two ☯ Jaguar ☯ 23:00, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
Initial comments edit
- The first paragraph of the lead needs to be expanded to summarise the article and comply per WP:LEAD. It should typically include some of its history!
- The architecture part of the lead could be expanded in order to summairse the article better
- "Nearby was an older cross known as the Butter Cross" - isn't the Butter Cross still there? It doesn't mention that it was moved to the village outskirts
- "The octagonal building, which is 9.4 metres (31 ft)" - I think imperial comes first, per most English GAs, but feel free to ignore!
- "Following the damage, it was restored in 1647 to its present condition. by Francis Luttrell" - typo
- "After the Norman conquest of England in the 11th century, William de Mohun constructed a timber castle" - can William de Mohun be linked or explained who he is?
- Linked (also known as William de Moyon).— Rod talk 21:02, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
References edit
- According to the toolserver it appears that Ref 11 is broken, but this could just be where a subscription is required?
On hold edit
Sorry this took so long - I've been having more time off Wikipedia lately. Overall this is a compact article which I suppose is as comprehensive as can be for this subject! The only problem I could find with it is the length of the lead section. The prose should be mostly fine for GA, but I've changed part of a sentence in the History section if that's OK. If all of the above can be addressed then this should have no problem passing the GAN. I'll leave this on hold for the standard seven days ☯ Jaguar ☯ 19:15, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comments. It is compact simply because I can't find anything else to include.— Rod talk 21:02, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
Close - promoted edit
Thank you for the improvements made! The lead now summairses the article and the rest of the prose is up to a GA standard. I agree regarding the metric/imperial layout - it shouldn't really matter. Anyway looks like another Somerset GA, and I think I've been to this place back in 2010. ☯ Jaguar ☯ 13:55, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
