Initial comments
This is a small and neat article. There are very few problems with it so I will only be concentrating on the problems on the article. I must point out that the lead itself looks very good and I see very few problems with it. But I have a few issues to make. Jaguar (talk) 15:30, 27 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Lead:
 * I am happy to say that the lead does comply with WP:LEAD, so I see very few problems here.
 * "There are no major employers in Knowle West but there are many small local enterprises and larger businesses on nearby trading estates." - you could mention the nearby Imperial Tobacco factory here even though it is in Hartcliffe. It did have an impact with the jobs in the area when it closed down in 1990.
 * Added to lead. Jezhotwells (talk) 00:16, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
 * There is no picture in the infobox. Although not a requirement for GA, it would be good to see a standard static image in the infobox.
 * Working on it, but may have to wait until weekend. Jezhotwells (talk) 00:16, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
 * This is OK, it is no major concern for GA. Jaguar (talk) 09:01, 28 July 2011 (UTC)


 * History:
 * "A new wave of development commenced in the 1960s at Inns Court, occasioned by the need for more homes following the devasting effects of the Bristol Blitz on the city." - this sentence doesn't make sense. The Bristol Blitz happened in the early 40s, so having the 1960s in the sentence may cause confusion.
 * "New homes were built on the Radburn principles which are now considered to be a failure" - why was it considered to be a failure?
 * Both points addressed, I think. Jezhotwells (talk) 01:03, 28 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Community centres and youth clubs:
 * "The area has local shopping facilities, a library, cafés and community centres and youth clubs" - no need for the extra conjunction (and).


 * Depreviation:
 * "The closure of the Imperial Tobacco factory at Hartcliffe, just outside the area, in 1990 meant the loss of 5,000 jobs and possibly a further 20,000 throughout South Bristol." - this setence insn't great grammatically. How about Due to the inclosure of the Imperial Tobacco factory at Hartcliffe in 1990, 5,000 jobs and possible a further 20,000 jobs weere lost throughout South Bristol.
 * Addressed. Jezhotwells (talk) 01:03, 28 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Enviroment:
 * "There are also three children's playgrounds and a few small open spaces" - this interesting. But what does 'small open spaces' mean?
 * "There are 42 acres (17 ha) of natural open space and 69 acres (28 ha) hectares of informal open space in Knowle West." - this doesn't really explain much. What does informal open space mean? I know what natural open space means, but the sentence doesn't explain much about the open space in Knowle West.
 * Addressed. Jezhotwells (talk) 01:03, 28 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Once these points have been addressed, I will be happy to award Knowle West GA status. Jaguar (talk) 15:36, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review, I will work on this tomorrow. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:49, 27 July 2011 (UTC)


 * OK, I belive that i have addressed all of those points. Jezhotwells (talk) 08:50, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you for addressing these points. The article is complete now, I will be happy to give it GA status. Well done. Another Bristol GA! Jaguar (talk) 09:01, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
