Comments I'll put the item on hold for a while. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:40, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * The area, in the lead it's hectares/acres, in the infobox it's hectares, sq metres, sq miles, it's all a little mixed up.
 * Made the same.&mdash; Rod talk 21:14, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Any reason for three paras in the lead on such a brief article?
 * Each dealt with different topics but made into two paras.&mdash; Rod talk 21:14, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Any reason for the solitary reference in the lead? I assume it gets expanded upon and referenced later in any case?
 * Moved to geology section.&mdash; Rod talk 21:14, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * "Notification" of 1952 is mentioned in the infobox and the category, but nowhere in the article, seems like an oversight.
 * Now in history.&mdash; Rod talk 21:14, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * "At Middle Hope a sequence of carboniferous limestone, and includes limestones," grammar fail.
 * Reworded.&mdash; Rod talk 21:14, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * "finest Tournaisian carbonate sections in South West England." sounds POV, is there a quote to back this up?
 * Prudden's Good Rock Guide says it is "a very special place", but I've removed that claim.&mdash; Rod talk 21:14, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Does "The site contains a Pleistocene-aged fossil cliff and shore platform" really need three separate references?
 * All the sources talk about this as being a key feature.&mdash; Rod talk 21:14, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * You abbreviate "millions of years ago" to "myr" but that abbreviation is never used.
 * Removed.&mdash; Rod talk 21:14, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * " the Middle Hope 84.1 hectare" needs a hyphen, and no need to re-link hectare.
 * I've removed this and covered it in history.&mdash; Rod talk 21:14, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Be consistent with your pipelinking/redirects, so the lead has " biological and geological Site of Special Scientific Interest." redirecting to "Site of Special Scientific Interest " while " biological and geological Site of Special Scientific Interest" piped to the same.
 * wp doesn't have separate articles for each type of SSSI.&mdash; Rod talk 21:14, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Avoid over-capitalising plants like Common Gorse and Bramble, they just don't need those caps.
 * The MOS seems to change on this every time I look at it - hopefully caught them all now.&mdash; Rod talk 21:14, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * "A bowl barrow and disc barrow from the late Neolithic or Bronze Age have been identified." where, when, why, how? This is a strange way to open a sentence in a new section.
 * Reworded.&mdash; Rod talk 21:14, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * "The triangulation station and site of the bowl barrow and disc barrow." incomplete sentence, no full stop required.
 * Full stop removed.&mdash; Rod talk 21:14, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * " as it was well away from the men of HM Customs and Excise" sounds like it should be a quote, it's not encyclopaedic otherwise.
 * Yep a quote from Gallop.&mdash; Rod talk 21:14, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * "Woodspring Priory is a former Augustinian priory.[21] The priory" priory, priory, priory.
 * I've removed one and reworded, but I can't see how to avoid "Woodspring Priory was an Augustinian priory".&mdash; Rod talk 21:14, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * "who were influenced by the Cistercians who emphasised" who ... who.  Repetitive.
 * Reworded.&mdash; Rod talk 21:14, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * "and now rent" timeframe?
 * Since the 1990s.&mdash; Rod talk 21:14, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Normally things like "HMS Birnbeck" are "HMS Birnbeck".
 * Done.&mdash; Rod talk 21:14, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Our article calls it a Department of Miscellaneous Weapons Development (department) rather than a Directorate.
 * Changed. (I think the title has changed over time).&mdash; Rod talk 21:14, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * "as an Explosives and Shock Test Facility" no need for all those capital letters.
 * Now lower case.&mdash; Rod talk 21:14, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Be consistent with ISBN spacings.
 * Hopefully done now (I think some automated programme changes them).&mdash; Rod talk 21:14, 31 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Cool, I'm good with the changes so happy to promote to GA, nice work. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:15, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
