Hi. I'm Calvin999 and I am reviewing this nomination.  — Calvin999 17:37, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Info box and lead
  • Country parameter in the info box says United Kingdom, but the first line of the lead says England. I, personally, think England should be used. England is a country, United Kingdom is a sovereign state.
Done
  • which date to the late → which date back to the late
Done
  • century, first → century: first
Done
  • in electrical storm. → in an electrical storm
Done
  • Why does the info box not include the apostrophe at the Denys but include it in the lead?
Fixed—well caught!
  • The architectural historian Sir Nikolaus Pevsner states is → This doesn't read right
Fixed
Description
  • of Sleaford → Link Sleaford here, not in the 'most of the market town of Sleaford' part. Unless you've done this for a specific reason?
Done
History
  • David Roffe and Christine Mahan → Who are these people?
Information added (David Roffe is also a prominent Domesday academic)
  • early 13th, possibly c. 1220. → Doesn't 13th need to be followed by 'century'?
Yes, added
  • by Thomas Blount and John de Bucham, merchants, → the the merchants Thomas Blount and John de Bucham,
Tweaked as above
  • mid- to late → Is that hyphen supposed to be there?
Removed
  • looted the brass eagle lectern (last recorded in 1622),[23] broke the stained glass windows and the organ, and looted → Use of 'looted' is slightly repetitive.
Replaced last use with "stole"
  • builders Kirk and Parry; Yerburgh and Thomas Parry were → Is this the same Parry?
Yes - I believe I have clarified this - let me know what you think.
  • Is 'Kirk and Parry' the name of the builders, as in a duo?
Yes, but it was also the name they traded under; there were (successively) two Charles Kirks in the firm.
Outcome

On hold for 7 days. Interesting article.  — Calvin999 17:58, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking this on. Your comments are much appreciated and I have fixed all of them but the last two - could you perhaps clarify how best to tweak the wording for them? King regards, —Noswall59 (talk) 18:11, 19 August 2015 (UTC).[reply]
Ah okay I get it now. I was just a bit confused at first due to the omission of first names and then a full name after a surname. Everything else done?  — Calvin999 18:21, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I can see everything is done. Passing.  — Calvin999 19:01, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
