Assessment
I have assessed the article against the criteria for B-class. The following need adressing before it reaches B-class. I am therefore rating it as C-class for the moment. Bob1960evens (talk) 09:14, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Suitably referenced, with inline citations
 * Reasonable coverage - no obvious omissions or inaccuracies
 * Defined structure, with adequate lead
 * Reasonably well written for grammer and flow
 * Supporting materials - Infobox, map, images
 * Appropriately understandable
 * The lead does not summarise the article. ✅
 * The Today section needs expanding and has no references. ✅ - expanded as Leisure era
 * The Route section needs expanding and has no references. ✅
 * Some information on traffic is needed. ✅ - Traffic section added
 * All of the above issues have now been addressed, and I am rating the article as B-class. Bob1960evens (talk) 17:31, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Boat sizes
Does anyone know what restricts the size of boats on the Ellesmere to Nantwich section? The locks still appear to be over 14 ft wide, but the width of boats is currently quoted as 9 ft in Cumberlidge 2009. Is there a bridge / aqueduct / other feature somewhere which restricts the width?

"The Chester company [...] noticed that the 1796 Act failed to mention a connection with their canal"
Connection to which point of the Chester Canal? There would have been a connection in Chester. So does connection mean to the Chester Canal near Nantwich? (The actual connection that was built being the one at Hurleston Junction.) Zin92 (talk) 06:27, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
