Early history

• "1635-6" & "1673-7" should have the long dashes for consistency

The problem is User:GregU/dashes.js, which I run over articles every now and again for dash fixes, doesn't do anything on this article right now so I can only assume it's correct per MOS Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 21:59, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Law

• "1703-4" - ditto
• Mind explaining who Henry Fielding is?

I think that can be done Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 21:59, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Later history

• "a riot broke out on Bow Street after around 2000 foreign servicemen recuperating from World War I clashed with local police." First World War

Are you sure about that? I have generally seen "World War I" consistently referred to in GAs on obviously British subjects elsewhere (random example), and it is the base name of the article. Historically, British English has been "First World War" but I've noticed a switch over the last ten years to WWI even in obviously British articles. The only other place we could go is WT:MILHIST.

Since this is the case no action is needed.

• "including accessibility by the disabled," for?

Yes, fixed, the other wording implies the designers are disabled Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 21:59, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

I found no other issues. On hold MWright96 (talk) 14:14, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
