If you mean Piccadilly Circus this sentence is correct. If you meant Oxford Circus, I believe the correct term is lattermost: Nearby tube stations are Charing Cross, Piccadilly Circus and Oxford Circus;[3] the latter...
 * It meant Oxford Circus. I've fixed this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anarchyte (talk • contribs)

Downmarket is an adjective or adverb, and I do not think it is used as either in this sentence: It was hoped the road could link Pall Mall and the Haymarket, which had declined and became downmarket.
 * I've tried to reword it, is it better now? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anarchyte (talk • contribs)

Should the be capitalized in this sentence? - The central section, known as the Quadrant,
 * No. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anarchyte (talk • contribs)

Keep commas and periods inside of quotation marks at the end of a quotation, unless that is a British thing. - The central section, known as the Quadrant, was designed for "shops appropriated to articles of fashion and taste",
 * Fixed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anarchyte (talk • contribs)

I believe Dr needs a. behind it here: during his search for Dr David Livingstone in Africa
 * Fixed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anarchyte (talk • contribs)

Is this sentence proper? - It was quickly found to be too small for purpose,
 * Reworded Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  12:32, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Are quotation marks necessary here? - dubbed as "Fashion and Design Month" (FDM)
 * Nope. Fixed Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  12:32, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

What is administration, is that like bankruptcy? Can you link to something that would help people like me? - In 2016, Austin Reed filed for administration, ending over 100 years' presence on Regent Street.
 * Linked to administration (law). It's roughly the equivalent of Chapter 11 in the US, where you get somebody in to help pay off debts immediately Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  14:13, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Am I reading this wrong, or is this image tagged as if it were created in the U.S.? - File:Regent St proposal published 1813.jpg
 * Well it's hosted on Commons, and they tend to be pretty quick with deleting non-free stuff, plus I can't think of any country where the copyright lasts for over 200 years! Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  22:19, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I am going to look into this a bit more. Kees08 (talk) 21:13, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

As I sort of helped with the article (Ritchie was the main contributor though), I can help address any of the issues that come up, if it's fine w/.  Anarchyte  ( work  &#124;  talk )   07:08, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah, if I'm out an about with the kids, shopping etc. fire away. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  22:19, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

I think there are several better pictures for the All Souls Church, with this potentially being one of them: File:All_Souls_Church,_Langham_place_and_BBC_Broadcasting_House_seen_from_The_Heights..._(17145644036).jpg

Won't hold up GA at all, just a suggestion. There are many more quality photos on the commons. Kees08 (talk) 22:32, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

This photo might be a nice addition to the history section: File:On the Move in Wartime London, 1942 D9320.jpg

Last, but not least, here are some F1 on Regent Street photos if you are interested: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Formula_One_Comes_to_Regent_Street
 * I've added the images in suitable locations, feel free to edit the captions.  Anarchyte  ( work  &#124;  talk )   01:59, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

I think everything bar that image copyright you wanted to look at has been addressed, anything else? <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  13:31, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

There are still quite a few periods outside of quotation marks. I usually do a ctrl+f for ". and work from there. Same with commas. Again, unless that's a British thing, I only really know American English. Kees08 (talk) 03:03, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Fixed a few, are there any more? ctrlf for ". and ", bring no results.  Anarchyte  ( work  &#124;  talk )   09:46, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Looks good to me! Kees08 (talk) 18:05, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Also, I think is the correct tag for those old images. Please feel free to double check, but the description seems to match the best. Note, I do believe 100% it is in the PD, just want to make sure it has the right PD tag. Kees08 (talk) 05:46, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
 * To be honest, I think this is a Commons issue (as that's where the image is hosted). may know exactly which tag to place. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk)  <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  11:19, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Once we get this second opinion on the tag, we can pass this. I am pretty sure that is something I am supposed to check for during the GA review process, but if I am mistaken just let me know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kees08 (talk • contribs)
 * As we still haven't had any other thoughts on this, should we ask at WT:GAN, put the review on "2nd opinion" status (and then ask), or pass anyway and save the discussion for a rainy day? I'm amenable to any of these three options. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  17:07, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Let's see if we get a response in the next couple of days, I am in no real hurry. Kees08 (talk) 03:36, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * To make this more clear, I went with option 1, it is on the GAN talk page. Kees08 (talk) 05:39, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I updated the tagging on Commons and replied to the WT:GAN thread. The criterion for GA is that free images be tagged with their copyright status, which is definitely done now even if the exact selection of template changes. --RL0919 (talk) 15:54, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
