Hi Philafrenzy, review follows: Article created 29 January; article is of good length; article is cited inline throughout to reliable sources; article is well written and I detected no apparent overly close paraphrasing; hook is interesting and is cited to a source which backs up the claim; image works well at small scale but requires a US copyright tag to accompany the PD-70 tag at commons, additionally a QPQ is required. Great little article and very interesting, thanks for writing it! - Dumelow (talk) 10:48, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

Thank you, I will deal with those things. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:53, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

All done thanks. Philafrenzy (talk) 15:18, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

P.S. I added London's to the hook. Philafrenzy (talk) 15:19, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

Thanks Philafrenzy, all looks good - Dumelow (talk) 18:30, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this, but while the hook and article say the name is derived from the siege of the town, the source says it was derived from the town, which was besieged by Henrys VII and VIII. Yoninah (talk) 23:31, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

It's ref 3 "The original name of this inn was "Boulogne Mouth," in allusion to the town and harbour of Bouloge, besieged by Henry VIII." Philafrenzy (talk) 23:38, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

I have just realised what you are saying. Philafrenzy (talk) 23:42, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

ALT1: ... that London's Bull and Mouth Inn (sign pictured) was originally known as the Boulogne Mouth in reference to the port and city of Boulogne besieged by Henry VIII in the 1540s?

Good. I was just composing the same alt for you; I'll add a link for the city and write it the way I edited the article:

ALT1a: ... that London's Bull and Mouth Inn (sign pictured) was originally known as the Boulogne Mouth in reference to the town and harbor of Boulogne which was besieged by Henry VIII in the 1540s?
