GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria Hey there. First off, good job on this article. It is informative and definitively holds encyclopedic value. So, congrats to all of the involved editors.

Let's see...there are only a few minor points which I will outline here in detail and in brief below. As these are all small items, I am confident they are able to be addressed in a short period. Also, feel free to make a mention if you disagree with part of my review.

Please notify me when finished, in order that I come back and pass the article. Ok, here we are:

Lead

 * In the lead, I question this: s an Anglican church lying at the end of a quiet lane to the south of the village of Nether Alderley, Cheshire, England. I'm concerned that quiet could be considered POV...
 * I suppose it could, so I've added the reference from which I took the opinion; not sure if this helps. Clifton-Taylor is also expressing a POV. Is this OK?  It adds a bit of colour to a potentially drab article.  I've been there and it sure IS quiet - the lane is a dead-end which leads to the church, its parish hall, the old rectory (now a house), the new rectory (formerly the stables) and fields......and of course the mausoleum - that's all! I can always delete this bit if it's perceived as a problem.
 * Hmm, interesting point. Would "rural" work? Lazulilasher (talk) 20:06, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * You know what...I was thinking about it again, and after a reread, I think "quiet" is fine.
 * What's a Grade 1/Grade 2 Listed building?
 * The link tells you all about this; to make an explanation about the listing process, its criteria etc. would just get in the way.
 * I'm not an architecture buff, but is "fine tower" appropriate or is
 * I have added a footnote explaining this. Not sure if it works.  But in the lead I was trying to make a summary of the features which make this a "notable" church, and the tower seems to be one of them.  What do you think?

Other

 * I think some of the terms could be expanded, for example -- it would be useful to explain what a "benefice", clerestory, etc are. A mere brief entry is fine.
 * Brief entries would be inadequate for what can be somewhat complicated (especially "What is a benefice?"). Is this not what blue links are for?
 * In fittings and furniture, should bible be capitalized? I'm assuming so, but I don't know for sure.
 * You're right. Done.
 * The article needs a brief copy edit for flow, for example: The wooden bell-frame dating from the 16th century was strengthened by the addition of a steel frame in 2000. The Stanley pew was also restored in 2000. Would that be better cast as: In 2000, the Stanley Pew was restored, and the 16th century wooden bell-frame was strengthened with a steel frame.
 * I've asked for help on this one.
 * A colleague has helped. Hope it is a lot better now.
