Improved to Good Article status by Cwmhiraeth (talk). Self-nominated at 09:56, 16 October 2016 (UTC).
The article is long enough and was nominated just after it was promoted to GA level. However, I think some minor issues should be resolved regarding the copy vio. The hook is interesting and cited. QPQ is done and no issue is seen regarding the license of the image. Mhhossein talk 17:30, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
- @Mhhossein: Well, I have made a couple of tweaks to the prose, but the main thing Earwig is objecting to is such phrases as "National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949", "Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty" and "Sites of Special Scientific Interest" which are all technical terms.

- Yes, I see. Can you show me where the hook is immediately cited in the article? --Mhhossein talk 04:20, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
- How about the last sentence of the Topography section? The image, if used, supports the hook too. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:38, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, that sentence's enough. The last issue; Why is it interesting? --Mhhossein talk 13:42, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
- The subject of this article is not very hooky. Please suggest another hook if you don't like this one. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:08, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
- Cwmhiraeth: I would suggest a hook from the early settlements section and would mention "3807-06 BC". This will be interesting to the readers. Mhhossein talk 06:09, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
- Agreed its an interesting fact, but it is difficult to fit into a hook that includes the words "Geography of Somerset", but perhaps @EEng: can suggest something. Otherwise, I really think the original hook is adequate. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:27, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

- Apparently I'm everyone's on-call hooker. How about:
- ALT1 ... that in the geography of Somerset, rough ground where lead was once mined is called "gruffy"?
- EEng 06:54, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
- Good, thanks EEng. I have added an extra reference to additionally support the statement. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:05, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
- All of the above reviewers seem to have ommitted many criteria, including adequate citations, which cannot be assumed on good articles. (and I do not want to be called 'p') Pppery 18:47, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
