GA Review

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
I'll be reviewing this against the WP:GAC in due course. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:32, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

• Comments - this is very good indeed. I have a few comments, most of which probably supercede the GA criteria, but which I think are worth addressing...
  • "... into a thriving suburb..." - a bit WP:PEACOCK for me, unless it was a direct quote?
    • Removed. Majorly talk 18:57, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
  • "...local partnership meetings..." - what are these?
    • Community meetings pretty much, hopefully clarified. Majorly talk 18:57, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
  • "...and steps." - can you clarify?
    • Hopefully have. Majorly talk 18:57, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
  • "After some years..." - not particularly encyclopedic.
    • Reworded. Majorly talk 18:57, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
  • "... in August they reached Crewe" - perhaps "...that August..." to avoid ambiguity.
    • Added "the following". Majorly talk 18:57, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
  • "Cheadle Station" - is Station capitalised for a reason?
    • Changed to lower case. Majorly talk 18:57, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
  • "quarter of a mile"- no translation into metric here and should this be hyphenated?
    • Added conversion template. Majorly talk 18:57, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Link Congleton first time round.
    • Done. Majorly talk 18:57, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
  • "a huge influx" per first comment - this needs citation or direct quoting. Perhaps I've missed it?
    • This is cited by the Squire book at the end of the paragraph. I could double the ref up, but I'm not really keen on doing that. Majorly talk 18:57, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
  • "A train carrying schoolchildren..." presumably not just schoolchildren - was it a school service? I think it needs clarification.
    • It was a special train - presumably, there were adults on the train too (as an adult was killed in the derailment). I'm not sure how to clarify this, other than simply removing the reference to children and replacing it with school. Majorly talk 18:57, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
  • "Cheadle Hulme public house" just a check - is the pub called "Cheadle Hulme"?
    • Yes, it is.
  • "...and is now due to begin in 2009..." -it is 2009, midway through - can you be more specific?
    • Clarified. Majorly talk 18:57, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
  • ISBN numbers seem to be formatted differently, i.e. 0-905164-99-7 vs 0905164008 and 1-85058-674-8 vs 1858952328... can you check these?
    • Done. Majorly talk 18:57, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
  • First external link is repetition of the links in the infobox.
    • Well it's a fairly standard link (a bit like linking to the IMDB on a film article). Majorly talk 18:57, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
      • Removed anyway. Majorly talk 19:00, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

I can't say fairer than that. Passes, easily. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:07, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your review - do you have any advice as to how I could take it further? (FA) Majorly talk 19:09, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

I'll get back to you on that. Congrats on the GA. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:15, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
