 * Pass or Fail:
 * Overall good article, just a few questions.
 * Some comments:
 * In the section St. Mary's-in-TuxedoThe sentence containing "a wedding gown first worn in 1768" is grammatically correct however might run a bit long to be easily read.
 * What is meant by "boudered bases" in the St. Mary's-in-Tuxedo section?
 * What is the relevance of the section on St. John's in Arden St. Mary's-in-Tuxedo ?
 * Thanks for taking up this review! To address your concerns:
 * I agree, I'll think about how to tighten that up.
 * Landau uses the term "bouldered bases" when describing houses with bases made out of boulders which may have inspired Bruce Price's nearby gatehouse. Perhaps putting that term in quotes and adding an explanatory note next to it would help.
 * St. John's is listed on the St. Mary's website under the Campus Tour and Service Info sections - maybe it doesn't require its own section but I feel it ought to be mentioned.

 * All sounds good except the last point, in-fact the whole St. Mary's-in-Tuxedo section seems out of place. Perhaps it should rather be part of a larger section dedicated to present day utilization of the church. Within that section can be a section about the current community leaders and even include the name of the current main clergy and/or ministers belonging to the church. And the section can also include the various activities that take place as part of the church under its present day organisation. Gazozlu (talk) 19:52, 22 September 2022 (UTC)


 * That makes sense, though it could also be included in a subsection of the history section, called "Present Day" for instance. I'll start drafting something. firvales73 (talk) 23:54, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree that having its own section makes more sense. I've added and made some changes to what is now the "Today" section. Does this seem more appropriate? firvales73 (talk) 01:55, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I think it's good, you could also include a sentence about present day use in the introduction paragraph of the article in an appropriate place. Gazozlu (talk) 11:01, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
