 * GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * 1) *Wikilinks should only be made if they are relevant to the context. Common words do not need wikilinking.
 * 2) *Grammatical errors such as "council council ward" found. If in any case you mean it, change it to something else.
 * 3) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * 1) *An image caption should only end with a full-stop if it forms a complete sentence.
 * 2) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:

 * The article has been proof read again by myself and another editor and I think that the small errors highlighted have been eliminated. A number of blue-links have also been removed. Meetthefeebles (talk) 17:38, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Captions not fixed. Wikilinks not fixed.-- Ankit Maity Talk Contribs 16:10, 29 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Which ones, specifically? Meetthefeebles (talk) 22:45, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
 * The reviewer is going to have to give explicit examples as I cannot see what to correct from such a sweeping statement.J3Mrs (talk) 14:20, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, some of 'em here.


 * "1895 Ordnance Survey Map of the early Deckham settlement (marked in red)." and "Deckhall Hall and the two public houses are clearly evidenced."
 * "The shopping area on Old Durham Road is the economic hub of the area."

I've amended the first caption so that it is now a continuous sentence but the second one is already a complete sentence, not a fragment, and therefore requires a full stop per WP:MOS Meetthefeebles (talk) 16:41, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

 * "Post Office"
 * "Tinkers


 * I've removed the post office link but can't understand why tinkers should be undone; it is a colloquial word used predominantly by Scots and people from the North of England only. The blue link here assists readers from outside those areas Meetthefeebles (talk) 16:41, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, it was a mistake. -- Ankit Maity Talk Contribs 16:42, 30 June 2012 (UTC)


 * No problem. Is there anything else you suggest is outstanding? Meetthefeebles (talk) 16:46, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Fix "View from the southern end of Old Durham Road. The steep slope north towards central Gateshead is apparent and the cityscape of Newcastle–upon–Tyne is clearly visible."
 * Eliminate wikilinks of open space, latitude, longitude and MP (and anymore you find).-- Ankit Maity Talk Contribs 08:31, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

I've done as suggested with the exception of open space. This is a borderline technical term which some readers may not understand fully (open space can mean green fields, parks, derelict land etc depending on the context) and I think the blue link assists. I've also removed a few more examples of possible over-linking. Meetthefeebles (talk) 09:04, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
