Sorry about the delay in getting to this. I'll try and address these points in the next few hours. Jamesx12345 15:40, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • Lead is a little on the light side. Could be expanded a little to summarise a bit more of the history and functionality of the place.
    • Have expanded somewhat, more to come.
  • "After facing financial problems months after opening..." after .. after... repetitive.
    • Reworded.
  • "GB£" not sure this is strictly required, could just link £ if you're really concerned that a reader won't know what a British pound is.
    • I tend to use {{GBP}} as it adds a non-breaking space, but I'm happy to change it if you think it looks cluttered.
  • " program of works" programme (unless we're American or writing computer applications).
    • Good spot.
  • Any history on the very first version of the quarry, i.e. when the first one was dug out?
    • I couldn't find anything more than the sentence beginning "Originally used for supplying stone..." It wasn't an especially noteworthy quarry, but I'll do a bit more research.
  • "work had been done." yuck to "done", perhaps "carried out".
    • Reworded again.
  • "SportScotland" looks like it's spelled "Sportscotland".
    • Another good find.
  • "cost to be GB£7 million, with GB£1.5 million coming" -> "with funding of £1.5 million to come from..."
    • Much nicer.
  • "During... during" repetitive.
    • Fixed.
  • "When it opened in September 2003, it was the largest..." perhaps "When it opened in September 2003, the arena was the largest..."
    • Done
  • You linked "indoor climbing" in the lead, but just "climbing" here, be consistent.
  • How did the estimate go from 7 million to 22 million? Important...
    • The BBC article just gives "problems" - there doesn't appear to be a simple reason, but losing part of the roof can't have helped. Acknowledging it makes it somewhat clearer though.
  • Would link "bouldering".
    • Linked in first instance.
  • "The articulated climbing wall." no need for the full stop on the caption, it's not a complete sentence.
    • Removed full stops from all captions.
  • But don't overlink bouldering!
    • Fixed
  • No need to link common terms such as "gym".
    • Fixed
  • Never overkeen on galleries, would suggest that contextual images are used in contextual places throughout the article instead.
    • Removed
  • BBC News or BBC News? Be consistent with italics.
    • There was an accidental {{cite web}} which renders differently (not many people seem to know this!)

A few issues so I'll put it on hold for a week. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:04, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
