 * Symbol possible vote.svg: Good. Length: More than 4000 chars. Policy: There seems to be some close paraphrasing of the Vigano sourse. Nominator needs to perform some editing to make the article more distinct from its sources. Abyssal (talk) 16:39, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review, I've notified the article's creator, Aymatth2. Prioryman (talk) 23:03, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I have tweaked the wording. See Duplication Detector report. Aymatth2 (talk) 14:56, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Looks good, I guess. Abyssal (talk) 14:21, 22 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg I'm a bit concerned that some closeness to source structure still remains, for example to this source. I'm also seeing a couple of factual errors: for example, you say that Pamplona was almost a pentagon, but your source says it was almost a hexagon. Nikkimaria (talk) 04:33, 24 October 2012 (UTC)


 * I made some copyedits to clarify the wording in the section on Gibraltar, but did not change the structure, which seems fairly natural - basically chronological. What is the concern here?  I fixed the Pamplona polygon problem.  What is the other factual error? Aymatth2 (talk) 14:32, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * The bit about "Philip II's chief engineer Tibúrcio Spannocchi refused to stop work on the zigzag wall" - the source says he refused to allow it to be destroyed, and that it was later completed, but doesn't connect the two in that way. Nikkimaria (talk) 04:04, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I have tweaked the wording. Think it is fixed now. Aymatth2 (talk) 11:53, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Okay, that's probably good enough, then. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:03, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
