  • Article length is slightly over limit (+23) that must be considered in case of rewording. The hook says "land purchased", however this is not clear in the article, if I don't misunderst. In the source it is said as "Some land was purchased." The "Route" subsection has no citation. Otherwise, no problem for DYK requirements. --CeeGee 11:34, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
I've clarified the hook and the article—the original hook implied that all the land for the line was bought, which isn't the case. I've also added refs for the route subsection. Thanks, matt (talk) 12:07, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Thank you for your efforts. However, the modified hook "... some land being purchased ..." is mentioned in the source but I miss it in the article. Do I misunderstand "... sufficient interest was gathered to allow an amount of land in Kingsclere ..."? --CeeGee 12:41, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Ah, I see. That part of the hook—"...some land being purchased..." is in the article where it says "...and sufficient interest was gathered to allow an amount of land in Kingsclere [...] to be purchased...". That statement is referenced in citations 1 and 4. Does that help? Thanks again, matt (talk) 14:15, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
  • For me, someone with English as foreign language, it's a little bit difficult to understand. If you say so, OK and I approve. Good to go. --CeeGee 15:25, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Thanks, CeeGee—I understand. If you would like someone else (with English as a first language) to have a cursory glance, I'm happy with that. matt (talk) 11:44, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Very kind of you. It would clarify for me. However, it's not compulsory. I marked the nom with AGF. --CeeGee 12:14, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
