 * ... that Henry Percy, 3rd Earl of Northumberland, went from being congratulated by the King to being attainted and his son taken to the Tower of London?

 * I'll start the review. SlimVirgin (talk) 18:18, 14 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Promoted to GA on 13 March. Hook length is fine. I've added a link for attainted; you might want to add one for the Tower of London too. Google Books won't me see p. 770 of the source for the congratulations part of the hook, so I can't check that. I also can't see the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography for the attainted or Tower part. I can take the hook on good faith, or perhaps you can offer alternative sources.

 * I've found a link to the ODNB that will let me read it. I can see where it says he was posthumously attainted. I can't see where it says his son was taken to the Tower. SlimVirgin (talk) 18:40, 14 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Symbol delete vote.svg There's some word-for-word from the ODNB:


 * WP: On 30 May 1460 he was nominated to a wide-ranging commission of oyer and terminer ... to deal with all treasons and insurrections in Northumberland; a few days later, on 3 July, he was granted Salisbury's Yorkshire, Derbyshire, and Cambridgeshire lands on a twelve year lease.


 * ODBN: "On 30 May 1460 he was nominated to a wide-ranging commission of oyer and terminer to deal with all treasons and insurrections in Northumberland; a few days later he secured a twelve-year lease of Salisbury's estates in Yorkshire, Derbyshire, and Cambridgeshire."


 * I know it's hard to rephrase things like that, but that's too close; it needs a rewrite or in-text attribution, perhaps both. It would make sense to go through the article to check for anything else like that, then perhaps you can resubmit. SlimVirgin (talk) 18:55, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks for the review. Let me have a look at things: first, I have found a source. I will have a look at paraphrasing either today or in the next couple of days. Thanks, Mat  ty  .  007  19:01, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I have attempted to fix the wording, but there are some issues with referencing which I am attempting to resolve. Thanks, Mat  ty  .  007  20:02, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Just to note, discussion is ongoing at the article talk. Thanks, Mat  ty  .  007  19:36, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg No reply from the editor who raised the issues on the talk page, so good for another review I think. QPQ done: Annette Winkler. Thanks,  Mat  ty  .  007  11:29, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Now there is an issue with the number of the baron, is it 2 3 4 or 5? This needs to be sorted. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:07, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
 * 3, but I think his father (and son?) were also called Henry Percy, so a bit confusing. I am just sorting out some referencing issues at the minute. Thanks,  Mat  ty  .  007  11:28, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Review needed. Thanks,  Mat  ty  .  007  16:40, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg This article was promoted to GA 13 March, therefore it is new enough. It is also long enough. Citations for hook accepted AGF. Images are free. No disambig links, and external links OK. The possibly plagiaristic extracts quoted above have been re-written satisfactorily. It's my opinion that the above issues are now resolved, and that this nomination for an interesting and worthwhile article has been waiting quite long enough. Good to go. --Storye book (talk) 07:42, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
