This is my third GA review, so I'm still learning my way around here. I'm therefore also open to discussions around how to interpret the criteria. Let me know if you think I've missed something or misinterpreted the review process. This is what I have found, after carefully reading this interesting article, and comparing with the GA criteria and guidelines (please feel free to answer below):

 * The lead: The sentence “…is the 8th–highest peak in Ireland on the Arderin list, and the 9th–highest according to the Vandeleur-Lynam list.” Is a bit unwieldly, perhaps it could be enough in the lead to write “…is among the 10 highest peaks in Ireland” or something like that, and leave the details about the lists for later? The lead should also be expanded a bit to present in summary at least also parts of the information found under “Hill walking” and “Aircraft accidents”. ✅ Expanded lede and noted as a top 10 mountain (I have kept the 8th and 9th parts as they appear in many other Irish mountain articles, so probably worth keeping the format).
 * Geography: I was a bit confused by the fact that there is both the Mount Brandon (which this article is about) and a nearby Brandon Peak; perhaps you can somehow raise the reader’s attention to the fact that they are two different things? ✅ clarified the wording here, hope this works.
 * Name: The wikilink to “Fortunate isles” takes the reader to an article which deals with a subject that doesn’t seem to be exactly related with Saint Brendan’s Island; Brendan’s mythological island is a medieval myth, the fortunate isles seem to be a Classical myth? ✅ Took out link.
 * The list of peaks needs an inline citation in accordance with criterion 2b of the GA criteria. At the moment there is only a link within a parenthesis to another Wikipedia article.✅
 * Pilgrimage: The sentence “The mountain's importance due to the fact that being so far west and so high, it is the last place the sun can be seen before it sets.” seems a bit incomplete: importance in what sense? As a pilgrimage site? In general or particularly connected with the idea of it as a pre-Christian pilgrimage site? ✅ Agreed
 * Inline ref nr. 12 is a dead link, a new reference should be found for this claim. ✅ not needed as ref 13 (now ref 12) does it.
 * The source “pilgrimagemedievalireland.com” is actually a blog, and as such would normally not be counted as a reliable source. However, it contains information compiled during PhD-research and I can’t see any reason why the information there would be false or misleading, so I’m willing to count it as reliable. ✅ Agreed
 * In accordance with MOS:ORDER, the Bibliography section should switch place with the See also section.✅ - actually put it after the refs section?
 * Thanks for the above, most of which seems in order, and I can fix.  I just happen to be very busy in RL at the moment but will come back to this in a couple of days if that is okay. thanks again for your patience. Britishfinance (talk) 21:57, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Pinging . I think I have been able to respond to all your comments (marked above), and particular, have expanded the lede, clarified the confusion around different peaks called "Brandon", and added the in-line citations to the list for every single peak.  Thank you for your patience, and looknig forward to your comments. thanks. Britishfinance (talk) 14:34, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Excellent, great work. I have nothing else to comment on, so I'm going to pass the article now. Well done! Yakikaki (talk) 14:46, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
