Longleat Priory

 * ... that Longleat Priory was suppressed in 1529, seven years before Henry VIII started his Dissolution of the Monasteries?
 * Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Zamorano Eighty
 * Comment: On 5 April 2013‎ the article was expanded to 4,297 bytes by an unregistered user but none of that addition had even a single word that had anything to do with the priory. With that non-relivant addition removed the article stood at 163 bytes and has now been expanded to 7,565 bytes.

 * This is not a complete review, just noting that Eupedia appears to be a Wiki (not a reliable source). Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 05:30, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
 * That's not the reference used for the hook and was only used for an extra reference of an already reliably referenced fact... I've removed it anyway.--Rushton2010 (talk) 11:56, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

←I am starting to review this now. The issue mentioned by the nominator under the Comment heading above makes the article history appear bizarre and non-standard. Essentially it was a combination of a copyvio of five paragraphs from here (not relevant to the article subject) and several paragraphs from the WP article about Longleat House, which is also not relevant! So I am happy to treat this nomination as if this set of revisions did not happen, and therefore consider this an expansion from a one-sentence stub. If anybody else has any views on this, please say. Anyway, the full review will follow shortly... Hassocks 5489 (Floreat Hova!)  17:58, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Per the suggested approach at Copyvio, the article has been rewritten from scratch within the timeframe for DYK. Most info comes from one source—the Victoria County History, whose unrivalled quality as a source for matters of English history I can vouch for, from years of experience—but other sources (the Valor Ecclesiasticus and English Heritage's PastScape database, both also of suitable quality) are also used.  Although one reference is to About.com, it merely supports detail from the VCH.  I have tidied the ref formatting.  Info from the VCH has been summarized suitably so that there is no close paraphrasing.  As this is one of our more obscure and little-documented priories, I am happy that the article is comprehensive enough at this time.  (In terms of other possible sources, I wonder if the Wiltshire edition of Pevsner would give any further info...?)  Happy to verify this on this basis.

 * Sorry, forgot to say: QPQ review confirmed; and Dissolution of the Monasteries could be linked in the hook. I'll leave it up to whoever moves the hook to Prep.   Hassocks  5489 (Floreat Hova!)  21:21, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
