Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments by the end of the week. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 12:32, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
Lead[edit]
- "were asked" → "was asked" (since it's a group)
- Think this might be an WP:ENGVAR thing, in British English collective nouns can be singular or plural depending on the context. It's covered a little in our article American_and_British_English_grammatical_differences#Subject-verb_agreement. This one sounds right to me as it is (I am British), though I understand we are inconsistent about how we apply it. I've added a British English tag to the article - Dumelow (talk) 09:09, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- "of European" → "of the European"
- "audience were" → "audience was" (also a group)
- Add a comma after "after the debate".
Background[edit]
- Add a comma after "Monetary Union".
- "dinner dress" → "dinner dresses"
Debate[edit]
- "afterwards" → "afterward"
Subsequent events[edit]
- Couldn't find any issues here.
References and images[edit]
- Archive all archivable sources (either manually or with this tool).
- A reference (currently #7), has an error with its title.
- There are no issues with the images and they have fair-use rationales.
- Also try linking each website in every citation.
Many thanks for the review Some Dude From North Carolina, much appreciated. Hopefully I've addressed your comments above apart from the referencing. I've since lost access to the newspaper archives that I used when writing this but I've asked if anyone has access to the articles over at the Resource Exchange (Wikipedia:WikiProject_Resource_Exchange/Resource_Request#British_Newspaper_Archive) and then then tidy up the three offline citations - Dumelow (talk) 09:09, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Dumelow: Thanks for the comments! There really is a lot of differences between the way we speak and write the same language. Well, it's always better to know. That being said, everything else in the article is in great shape, but the reference after "11:50 pm" is missing a title, and as a result, I'm seeing a "Missing or empty |title= (help)" warning on my screen. Try fixing it, and ping me when you reply. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 14:10, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks Some Dude From North Carolina, hopefully I've sorted it now - Dumelow (talk) 16:21, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
