The Australian and New Zealand Association of Bellringers[edit]

Created by Wittylama (talk). Self nominated at 09:40, 3 April 2014 (UTC).

  • Article length, date, and general compliance with policy check out. The two refs to back "full circle ringing" are either not online or deadlinks, so accepted in good faith. The ref to back "64 bell towers" actually says "more than 60". While I believe if you actually count them, there are precisely 64, but do you object to saying "more than 60" to be consistent with the ref? I would drop the "ranging from five to 16 bells" part as it just makes the hook longer without making it more interesting (less is more). --ThaddeusB (talk) 23:44, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
  • I've fixed the broken URL for one of the full circle ringing refs so that it goes to the National Library catalogue rather than a deadlink. I'm happy with both your suggested changes to the hook too. An alternative for the hook would be to add to the hook "...and that performances on the bells can last for as long as 3 hours at a time?" (however that fact is not cited specifically about ANZAB, that's something that's true for all bellringing of this type). Wittylama 03:54, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
  • For alt1. If you want to add the 3 hours bit to the article that would indeed make for an interesting hook. It not being unique to this group is not an issue.--ThaddeusB (talk) 17:03, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
