Comments That's all I have for this first read. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 21:54, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * "made by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to" perhaps -> "made by Margaret Thatcher, the British Prime Minister, to..." just because it's good to underpin the fact that Scotland and "Britain" aren't the same thing.
 * Four citations in the lead, they can easily be moved to the main body per MOS:LEADCITE as nothing in the lead should be missing from the main part of the article.
 * "address" is mentioned several times, can we mix it up a little with "speech"?
 * "1985 Faith in the City report" italics?
 * " a play on" link for "play"?
 * "her Oxford years" link that savage university here.
 * "And it has..." never keen on seeing sentences beginning with "and....
 * "idea in Margaret Thatcher's political" no need for Margaret.
 * "famously summed" notably
 * Is linking Evangelical Methodist Church worthwhile? All my experience of Methodists is the opposite to evangelical!
 * "and each one counts."" reference.
 * "Choice played a significant part in Thatcherite reforms and Thatcher claimed choice" repetitive, re-word.
 * "stating that Christ chose" claiming, or suggesting, rather than "stating". And do we really need to link Christ?
 * Or God for that matter?
 * " Spirit - something" en-dash.
 * "Thacherite" typo.
 * "in the press as " no need to link that to a different target.
 * "end for Conservative" link.
 * "English Methodism and" overlinked.
 * References with online links need to be formatted properly, suggest using the cite web template, happy to help with that if it's a problem.
 * Page numbers normally have a space between the p. and the number.
 * Thanks so much for your thorough review. I have implemented everything you suggested, except one point: Evangelical Methodist Church is a separate American denomination. But I did link Evangelicalism - the Methodists today are mostly fairly liberal, as you noted yourself, but their origins in the Wesleyan revival were Evangelical, and that still had an impact on Thatcher as a girl. I have also changed the references to a newer format that I now prefer - hope you approve. Please do look in again and tell me if I have missed anything. --Doric Loon (talk) 16:40, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
