 * ✅ You don't need "pictured" in image captions as a general rule
 * ✅ the most significant landmarks which signalled travellers' arrival into Tyneside, when travelling south to north, "when travelling from the south" is shorter and simpler
 * ✅ Link A1 and A167 (only) on first mention in the body.
 * ✅The intention was for it to act as a "millennial image that would be a marker and guardian for our town" You need to attribute the quote to the speaker
 * I've found the original source and author so have cited these.
 * ✅ Maybe a couple of words on what Northern Arts is?
 * ✅ Quite a few duplicate links. As a rule, we only link terms once in the lead and once in the body. There is a script at User:Evad37/duplinks-alt tha tcna highlight these for you.
 * ✅The history jumps quite abruptly from proposals and models to the finished sculpture being transported. Suggest removing the latter to avoid redundancy with the later section.
 * ✅ 5.3 metres (17 ft) base use parameter  to use the adjectival form.
 * ✅it was decided that the material would not be strong enough Try to avoid the passive voice if it's known who made the decision.
 * ✅ other sculptures including The Statue of Liberty "The" is not part of the name (hence the link is a redirect)
 * ✅ convenient passage into Tyne and Wear from the South "south" is not a proper noun
 * ✅ Additionally, nearby housing estates and commercial areas add to the amount of people who regularly witness the sculpture Suggest something like "the statue can also be seen from nearby housing estates and commercial areas" to reduce verbiage and redundancy.
 * ✅ However, this was intentional no need for "however"; there's no contradiction here
 * ✅ The sculpture is made of COR-TEN weather-resistant steel and was constructed in three parts you've already established what it's made of
 * ✅ The first wing was attached to the body at around 11am MOS:TIME dictates a space (preferably a non-breaking space) between "11" and "am"
 * ✅ which Gormley himself called no need for "himself"
 * ✅ The Angel has also been suggested to have improved the wellbeing and pride of Gateshead residents By whom?
 * References:
 * ✅ Per WP:RSP, Bild is a tabloid and considered "generally unreliable"
 * ✅ What makes "AboutBritain.com" a reliable source?
 * ✅ You seem to be using a mix of reference styles. Some multi-page sources (books, journals, etc) are in the bibliography, others not. Some use sfn, some don't.
 * Thank you for raising this, I think I've fixed it by changing to sfn throughout and adding multi-page sources into bibliography.
 * ✅ Titles of books/journal articles should be in title case
 * ✅ Use ISBN13s, not 10s. You can convert them using this site
 * ✅ For Newton & Mills, 93 is the issue number, not the volume number.

This is in very good shape. The above is mostly nit-picking, some of it at a higher level than GA. I don't see any reason this couldn't go on to FAC. HJ Mitchell &#124; Penny for your thoughts? 22:30, 1 April 2022 (UTC)


 * That's a great help, thankyou. Have made a start on some of the points. --10mmsocket (talk) 06:39, 2 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your swift and comprehensive review @HJ Mitchell, and for taking on the majority of amendments @10mmsocket! I believe I've addressed the remaining points, look forward to hearing from you! Unexpectedlydian (talk) 21:15, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for an easy and enjoyable GA review. I'm happy to pass this. I hope you'll take it to FAC and be justly rewarded for all the hard work you've put into this. HJ Mitchell &#124; Penny for your thoughts? 12:20, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
