Hi, I'm Mike and I'm going to review this article. Since this is my first GA review, Nikkimaria has agreed to co-review with me. We'll discuss things between ourselves and come up with a joint decision. We'll be back later with some thoughts! Cucumber Mike (talk) 17:12, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

We've identified some areas above that could do with some more work to get this article to pass GA review. If you would like to help improve the article, please leave a message here once done so we can come back and run some more checks. Feel free to ask questions as well!

 * Thank you both for a thorough review. Based on your suggestions I have made the following changes:


 * The issues with prose have been addressed.


 * The lead has been expanded with local government and landmark details.


 * The two unreferenced notable people have been removed while I seek out references. The two identical references have been combined and the dead link revived.


 * The local government section has been expanded to include council wards and the parliament constituency.


 * An education section has been added.


 * I'm reluctant to water-down the content relating to the Soutar town plan as it was a significant event which very nearly changed the face of the town (almost) entirely. The history section is the largest, but covers so much that I feel it is at the comprehensive level it should be. Also, the other sections tell you what's in Ruislip, but the history tells you why and how they got there. There haven't been very many really notable events recently to include and I'm reluctant to include High Speed 2 because of the controversy surrounding it.


 * I've made changes to the Park Wood and war memorial photograph captions. They are both included as they refer to the text, particularly Park Wood which was placed near the paragraph about the 1931 sale. The war memorial is mentioned in the paragraph beginning "Primrose Hill Farm was demolished...".


 * The details for the fair use image have been updated.

How does it look now? Harrison49 (talk) 22:42, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
