Checking against GA criteria

[edit]
GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
    "The Glastonbury Canal ran for just over 14 miles (23 km)" - I think "just" sounds a bit informal for the opening sentence
    " In the 1750s, the town became a spa town" - link spa town
    "At the Highbridge end, the plans for a floating harbour to accommodate vessels of up to 250 long tons (250 t) were dropped" - tonnes (British English)
    " and a cavalcade from Highbridge to Glastonbury and back" - 'and back' sounds informal and vague here
    "They were declared bankrupt and Richard was removed from office as town clerk" - who's Richard?
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    References check out OK, reliable sources, no evidence of OR
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
    Neutral
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
    Stable, no edit warring
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
    No images used
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:

I couldn't find anything worthy enough for this to be put on hold, so I'll pass it now. It's a well written article that meets the GA criteria, well done! JAGUAR  11:31, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I have dealt with most of the queries above, except tons v tonnes as this is always difficult as it may be long ton as it depends on the source and time period.— Rod talk 11:40, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
