Comments[edit]

Do we need that citation in the lead?
"in Lincolnshire" — I'd say "in Lincolnshire, England"
"He is easily confused" — often? or it it an English English thing?
"Neville held lands" — The prose seems like a continuation of the lead. We should be mentioning his first name at his firs instance in the prose, and also "(floruit 1168)"
"of Chief Forester" — my reading of MOS:JOBTITLE is that this should not be capitalized. Le me know if I am wrong.
"The Complete Peerage entry" — 'The' is a part of the title: The Complete Peerage

That is pretty much all there is to say. Sourcing is impeccable. @Ealdgyth, I wouldn't formally put on hold unless you want me to. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 16:40, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to be busy for the rest of the afternoon and evening, so can't promise I'll get to these before tomorrow ... so up to you on whether you want to put it on formal hold or not. I'm easy either way. Ealdgyth (talk) 16:42, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think I got all these... Ealdgyth (talk) 13:38, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
