I'll review this article. PizzaKing13  (Hablame)  18:32, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Infobox

 * Is the official name supposed to be in all-caps?
 * Probably not. Changed. -Kj cheetham (talk) 10:43, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Lead

 * "on the high street", do you mean "on High Street"? Same for the first sentence in Description
 * Done. Both are technically correct, as the high street is called High Street. I think high street as a generic term is a British thing. -Kj cheetham (talk) 12:07, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Description

 * "Two corners feature circular" which corners?
 * "including faces around one of the windows." which window?
 * Why are Robert Burns and his mother relevant to the castle?
 * I just feel like this section is a little short and lacking. PizzaKing13   (Hablame)  18:44, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I've expanded this section a bit, and removed the mention of Robert Burns as wasn't directly relevant. -Kj cheetham (talk) 16:09, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

History

 * Paragraph 2
 * I feel the story about Faa should be split into its own section.
 * "The Earl is question" → "The Earl in question"
 * "is usually thought" by who?
 * Delink Margaret Kennedy in Faa's story WP:OVERLINK
 * Done. -Kj cheetham (talk) 13:22, 5 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Paragraph 3
 * Add a comma after "end of the 16th century"
 * Delink John Kennedy, 5th Earl of Cassilis in the 3rd paragraph
 * Done. -Kj cheetham (talk) 10:43, 2 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Paragraph 4
 * "It is one of a number of castles in and around Maybole." What other castles are in and around Maybole?
 * Done. I've also taken ones out of the "See also" section as per MOS:SEEALSO. -Kj cheetham (talk) 13:22, 5 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Paragraph 5
 * Add a comma after "By the start of the 19th century"
 * Add a comma after "and in the 1800s" + when in the 1800s?
 * Done. -Kj cheetham (talk) 12:07, 2 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Paragraph 6
 * Add a comma after "Around 1837"
 * Why did Charles Rennie Mackintosh examine the castle?
 * Done, and added a quote about Mackintosh. -Kj cheetham (talk) 10:43, 2 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Paragraph 7
 * Add a comma after "In 1919"
 * "A photograph of spectators by the fire is found in the Maybole News Archive from July 2001." Why is this relevant?
 * Why was it listed as a category A listed building?
 * Done. I've replaced the sentance about the photograph completely, and expanded about becoming a listed building -Kj cheetham (talk) 10:43, 2 November 2022 (UTC)


 * This section feels like it groups a lot of stuff together. I suggest splitting the paragraphs 1 3 and 4 about the earls owning the castle, paragraph 2 about Faa's story, and paragraphs 5 6 and 7 about damage to the castle into their own sections. And also, move 21st century as its own section under "History"


 * History
 * Early use
 * Legend of John Faa
 * Damage to the castle
 * 21st century


 * Something along those lines PizzaKing13   (Hablame)  19:41, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Done, though I went with "20th century" rather than "Damage to the castle" for the 3rd sub-section. -Kj cheetham (talk) 10:43, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

21st century

 * Paragraph 2
 * Add a comma after "In 2010"
 * Add a comma after "In 2011"
 * Done. -Kj cheetham (talk) 10:43, 2 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Paragraph 3
 * Has that work mentioned in the last sentence not started yet?
 * I don't know. The last updated "latest news" on https://www.regeneratingmaybole.scot/ was back on 8 August 2022. I couldn't find any more recent news online, and the Autumn 2022 newsletter on https://www.maybole.org/news/index.htm hasn't come out yet. -Kj cheetham (talk) 10:43, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
