I'll start reading over the next few days and then begin to make comments. I am normally a slow reviewer - if that is likely to be a problem, please let me know as soon as possible. I tend to directly do copy-editing and minor improvements as I'm reading the article rather than list them here; if there is a lot of copy-editing to be done I may suggest getting a copy-editor (on the basis that a fresh set of eyes is helpful). Anything more significant than minor improvements I will raise here. I see the reviewer's role as collaborative and collegiate, so I welcome discussion regarding interpretation of the criteria.

Comments on GA criteria[edit]

Pass

Appropriate reference section. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 10:39, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Images are OK. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 10:58, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Stable. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 10:59, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Prose is clear and readable, conveying information simply and accurately. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 11:22, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
MoS requirements are met, though I query the need to sub-section the two main sections, particularly the second section. Per WP:Layout: "Very short or very long sections and subsections in an article look cluttered and inhibit the flow of the prose". Though this a minor quibble, and is open to debate. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 11:26, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Cites and sources check out. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 11:29, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Informative and detailed without being excessive or boring. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 11:32, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

General comments[edit]

Pass. This is a well written and informative piece on an interesting group of buildings. It's nice to do a review on a discrete and simple subject which is well written and researched as it makes the task so easy! SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 11:32, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reference problem[edit]

Reference 22 description says "Nos. 1389332 through 1389332" - looks like one of the numbers is in error. Would be good to have links/references to each of the entries referred to, also applies to ref 28. Keith D (talk) 21:45, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
