Grabbing this for a review shortly. Miyagawa (talk) 10:52, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, time for the review:

Lead: Does it still contain over 300 nest boxes, did it once contain over 300 nest boxes? I'm only asking because the Dovecot I visited last year at Eastcote has had some significant damage to the inside and no longer contains the shelving that the nest boxes would have sat on.

Yes the nhle ref says 11 tiers present "said to number 302 in all".— Rod ^talk 20:34, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

History: WP:INTEGRITY suggests that it's best to group citations at the following punctuation mark or at the end of the sentence. So I would suggest that cites 6 and 7 are moved to the end of that sentence to stop it from looking cluttered.

Moved - I tend to do this if the source supports a particular fact rather than everything in the sentence.— Rod ^talk 20:34, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

History: Is there a cite for "The building is used as a store by the neighbouring farmer."?

The McCann book says this so I've reused an existing ref.— Rod ^talk 20:34, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's all the issues I can find. Once you've rectified those, I think this can be marked up as a Good Article. Miyagawa (talk) 20:25, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments.— Rod ^talk 20:34, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Great. Happy to promote, nice job. Miyagawa (talk) 22:45, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
