I should have this finished in a day or two. ♦ jaguar  00:03, 30 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Lead
 * "approximately 27 km (17 mi)" - imperial goes first for UK settlements, and I note that the rest of the article places imperial measures first
 * Done. Added |order=flip to the conversion templates in the lead and in the "Geography" section. Mertbiol (talk) 10:18, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * "The earliest evidence of human activity is from the Bronze Age and during the Anglo-Saxon and Medieval periods, Weybridge was held by Chertsey Abbey." - this sentence should be split here
 * Done. Sentence split. Mertbiol (talk) 10:18, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * "In the 18th century, the owners included Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany." - 'owners' (plural) but Prince Frederick is the only mention. Rephrase to Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany owned the mansion in the 18th century
 * Done. Rephrased as requested. Mertbiol (talk) 10:18, 4 December 2021 (UTC)


 * History
 * "with a value of five pounds per annum" - why not £5? The sterling symbol has never changed as far as I'm aware
 * Done. Changed to "£5". Mertbiol (talk) 10:18, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * "and was maintained by the queen in her capacity" - sounds ambiguous here although the Elizabethan Era is mentioned before. Just link Elizabeth I
 * Done. Link simplified as requested. Mertbiol (talk) 10:18, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * "In 2021, the European headquarters of Sony and the UK headquarters of Procter & Gamble are at Brooklands" - reads better as As of 2021, unless they were both opened in 2021?
 * Done. Changed as requested. Mertbiol (talk) 10:18, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * " Lieutenant George Patton was subsequently awarded the George Cross" - I assume this is John Patton (GC), not the famous American general George Patton?
 * Done. Corrected as requested. Mertbiol (talk) 10:18, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

I've read through the whole article and could only raise those minor issues. This article serves as a good example of how UK towns should be written; it is overall comprehensive and contains good prose. I'll leave this on hold until those minor nitpicks are out of the way. ♦ jaguar  23:18, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
