Improved to Good Article status by Gog the Mild (talk). Self-nominated at 19:20, 14 October 2018 (UTC).
Hello again Gog. Another excellent new GA written on impeccable sources. Article is well written with no close paraphrasing of accessible sources/ A QPQ has been done. This one is good to go but I would make one suggestion: that "and defeated" is added to the hook - it makes it all the more remarkable. If desired it could be shortened by piping: "...the Earl of Derby attacked and defeated an army...", but that is a stylistic choice - Dumelow (talk) 16:33, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
- @Dumelow: I like that. Thank you. How does ALT1 read? Gog the Mild (talk) 17:03, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
