- "low lying area"-->low-lying area
- "World's" Why the capitalization?
- "Castle Street was built on the site of the demolished Bridgwater Castle, in 1834,"-->In 1834, Castle Street was built on the site of the demolished Bridgwater Castle
- "Outside of the town of Bridgwater the largest concentration of Grade I listed buildings" Comma after "Bridgwater", delete the "of" after "outside".
- "are in the village of Cannington where the 12th century Cannington Court[18] and 14th century Church of St Mary[19] were both associated with a Benedictine nunnery."-->are in the village of Cannington, where the 12th-century Cannington Court[18] and 14th-century Church of St Mary[19] were both associated with a Benedictine nunnery.
- I'm not sure about this one. Should centuries be hyphenated? I've used them in FLs & FAs without the hyphens without having this query. Checking Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers) the examples given in Longer periods -> Centuries and millennia do not include hyphens.
- May I comment? MoS on hyphens ... 13th-century X ... the century is a double adjective qualifying X, so should normally be hyphenated. But "in the 13th century, Europe was in the ..."—"13th" is the adjective, "century" is the noun. The hyphen makes the reading just so slightly easier when a double adjective is involved. US editors would insert it, even though AmEng uses fewer hyphens than UK/Austr./Sth Afr. English. Tony (talk) 14:24, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the explanation. I'm not going to claim I understand but hope I've done this hyphenating centuries in the lede, but not in the list - is it now correct? As an aside would it be useful to amend the MOS page I referred to to explain this?— Rod talk 14:46, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- "Cannington is also the site of the 13th century Gurney Manor"-->Cannington is also the site of the 13th-century Gurney Manor
- "Blackmoor Farmhouse which was built around 1480 with its own chapel."-->Blackmoor Farmhouse, which was built around 1480 with its own chapel.
- "Norman or medieval era churches"-->Norman or medieval-era churches (you may need to add a hanging hyphen after "Norman" depending on whether you meant to say "Norman-era"); also, add a comma after this phrase.
- "The most recent building is the Corn Exchange in Bridgwater which was built in 1834."-->The most recent building is the Corn Exchange in Bridgwater, built in 1834.
- Several of the footnotes require references, for example "The entry for Castle Street, Bridgwater includes Numbers 1-14 and number 16 and their attached walls and outbuildings. Number 10 is now home to Bridgwater Arts Centre.", which also has a typo and needs an en dash. Dabomb87 (talk) 18:31, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm having problems here - I can't see the typo or need for en dash & when I add refs to the notes I get an error telling me they need a closing "/" when they are already properly formatted - this may be because they are already within<ref group="note">***</ref> tags. I will investigate the referencing in footnotes issues further but would appreciate help.
- En dashes for ranges: WP:MOSDASH. Tony (talk) 14:24, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks now got the typo & I hope I've done the right dashes.— Rod talk 14:46, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Response Thanks for your comments, I've accepted & changed several but am unsure on hyphens in centuries & can't get the refs to work properly in notes as described above.— Rod talk 20:59, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Refs in Notes - this appears to be a known bug see Wikipedia:Footnotes#Known_bugs. The workaround seems to involve #tag magic word, but I can't get this to display them properly at present.— Rod talk 21:38, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- More Refs in Notes - I've tried a workaround & added it to Castle Street but I think it it makes note 3 look bloated & messy - what do others think?— Rod talk 22:16, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
