Melbourne Castle[edit]

Featured article candidates/Melbourne Castle/archive1

Nominator(s): Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:03, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This former royal castle was once used to imprison the Duke of Bourbon, and came close to getting Mary, Queen of Scots too, but ended its days being quarried for stone. Now, the waters of the Trent overflow its towers, as was prophesied. Thanks to Hchc2009, Dank, Nev1 and Anotherclown for improving this article to Milhist A-class before it came here Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:03, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support on prose per standard disclaimer. I've looked at the changes made since I reviewed this for A-class. These are my edits. - Dank (push to talk) 11:35, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Joe Jimfbleak - talk to me? 11:58, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support (having stumbled here from my FAC). I agree with quality of prose in assessment by Dank (talk · contribs), above. I would add in particular I like the style used for the referencing and citation sections. In addition, the overall structure is organized well, and the writing quality is succinct and eminently readable for our viewers. — Cirt (talk) 03:49, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for support and for your help in bringing this up to standard Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:49, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support Having looked at the article again, and being involved with the A-class process, I'm happy to support the article. As Hchc2009 says, it is comprehensive and on top of that, it is well structured and well written. Nev1 (talk) 18:04, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Nev1, I appreciated your help preparing this for FAC Jimfbleak - talk to me? 20:00, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
