Order of sections edit
I've changed the order of the sections to put the History section below sections that deal with the present. I think this will better suit the readers. Alan Pascoe 22:19, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Reviewing |
- This review is transcluded from Talk:Aldermaston/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.
Reviewer: Arctic Night 00:29, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello, I am taking this one. I will provide some general comments here and then an adjudication at the end. Arctic Night 00:29, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
History
- While this is not grammatically incorrect, I have noticed the presence of quite a few ndashes throughout this article. Sometimes the use of ndashes can disrupt flow - you might like to try removing these as far as is practical.
- Done to a certain extent, rephrased and changed punctuation to mix it up a bit. matt (talk) 16:36, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
- "During the remainder of the reign of William, and later his son William Rufus, Aldermaston was owned by the Crown. There is no evidence of there being a large house at that time." - this really should be sourced. This is a brilliant article, and a lack of sourcing would spoil it!
- Done. Sourced where possible, removed unsourced sentence (will replace when I find the source, I can picture reading it!) matt (talk) 16:51, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
- "In the 11th century, Henry I gave to Robert Achard (or Hachard[6]) of Sparsholt." - if we remove the references here, we basically get "At X, character Y gave something to character Z". We need to know exactly what this 'something' is - although it is clear in context, this doesn't really make sense if taken apart.
- I would recommend that this section be split into sub-sections, as it seems a little large to be read as a whole.
- Done, but I'm not too happy with the section names. Also, this has meant that some of the images need juggling around. matt (talk) 16:51, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
- "The manor passed through the Forster family until 1752, when the Forster lineage ended and the estate was inherited by Ralph Congreve – the husband of the last Forster's grand-niece." - this is unsourced.
- "The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle states that the first known Ealdorman of Berkshire, Aethelwulf, fought the Danes with Ethelred of Wessex at nearby Englefield in 871." - this should be sourced.
Architecture
- This section is a little bit short, and should be expanded or merged into another section if possible.
In short, this article is fantastic, and I would really like for it to be taken to FA status after a little bit more work. Taking all of these issues into account, I am ready to pass this article for GA status today. Many articles have similar issues at GA status, although I would recommend that this small collection of issues (especially to do with sourcing) be looked at as soon as possible. I think a 'hold' would be a little over the top in this case, considering that the only problems are with sourcing, which isn't a problem under the GA criteria.
