 * 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):
 * Lead needs to adequately summarise article per WP:LEAD.
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * Citations to reliable sources, no problems.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * Stays focussed. I can't think of anything missing, and the sources I looked at don't show any major omissions here.
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * No issues.
 * 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):
 * Images are free with appropriate licenses & information. They have appropriate captions.
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * Pass/Fail:

Lead History Buildings Park Access
 * As I'm sure you know, the lead needs to summarise the article per WP:LEAD :)
 * I always forget to expand the lead, when I'm done. Now done.--DavidCane (talk) 02:27, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Should "18th century" be "18th-century" (adjective)?
 * It should. Done.--DavidCane (talk) 02:27, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * "Sir Horace Mann was a friend and long-time correspondent with Horace Walpole." - perhaps "Sir Horace Mann was a friend and long-time correspondent of Horace Walpole."?
 * I couldn't decide whether to use "of" or "with". Changed.--DavidCane (talk) 02:27, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I think architectural descriptions can be quite hard-going for the average Joe and so I would consider linking:
 * bays
 * Done--DavidCane (talk) 02:27, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * moulded
 * Done--DavidCane (talk) 02:27, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * portico
 * Already linked in second paragraph of building--DavidCane (talk) 02:27, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * cantilevered
 * Done--DavidCane (talk) 02:27, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * "ice house" or "ice-house"? (you have both)
 * Fixed.--DavidCane (talk) 02:27, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Consider linking balustrade
 * Done--DavidCane (talk) 02:27, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Just a suggestion, not a requirement, but this would perhaps be better merged into the former section, if it's never going to be longer than a sentence. It seems like it would fit.
 * OK. Done.--DavidCane (talk) 02:27, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

No links to disambiguation pages. External links all look like they're working. Spot checks of sources I can access show no problems with WP:V or plagiarism/copyvio.

Nice work, I enjoyed reading this. No real issues holding back promotion other than the expansion of the lead. I'll put it on hold.-- Beloved Freak  20:35, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm glad you liked it. I'm working my way through writing articles on all of the Grade I listed buildings in the borough of Maidstone.--DavidCane (talk) 02:27, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks for making those changes. I'm happy to list it as a good article, well done! (Look forward to seeing more of the same...) -- Beloved  Freak  10:34, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
