Hello, I will be reviewing this article as part of the January GAN drive. Please expect comments from me within the next few days. Kimikel (talk) 01:29, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Noswall59: I have left my initial comments below. This is a well-written article; the main issue that I've listed below is the currency of some of the figures. Please let me know if there are any questions or concerns regarding my suggestions. Thank you. Kimikel (talk) 15:41, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
Well-written
[edit]Lead
[edit]- built-up area > you might want to wikilink this, as an American I'd never heard this term
- Sleaford railway station is on the Nottingham to Skegness (via Grantham) and Peterborough to Lincoln Lines. > Since the article is about Holdingham, a sentence about on which lines a railway station in the next town over is seems out of place in the lead. I would recommend cutting it
- nursing home – all opened > comma feels more appropriate here
- The ward had a population of 2,774 in 2011. > 2021 census data is available [1]
Geography
[edit]- Holdingham Roundabout which connects > comma
- It is free-draining, loamy and lime-rich, suited for growing cereals and grasses but classified as a nitrate vulnerable zone. > This sentences starts with a discussion on soil but ends talking about NVZs, which, to my understanding, refer to areas of land, not the soil itself. I recommend breaking these ideas up
- (when it was separated from the ancient parish of New Sleaford) > use commas instead of parentheses
- Climate > Every number in the prose of this section is lower than those in the chart.
History
[edit]- c. 1202 > this is the only place where the circa template is not used
- the settlement was arranged into closes > since this is redlinked, it is worth explaining what a "close" is
Economy
[edit]- According to Google Maps, the enterprise park in 2020 > This could use an update
- According to the 2011 census > 2021 census data should be used here as well
Demographics
[edit]- Again, 2021 census data needed here
- For measuring deprivation > would be nice to wikilink "relative deprivation" here
Education
[edit]- Eleven plus exam > eleven-plus exam
Religion
[edit]- it has subsequently disappeared > remove has
Notable residents
[edit]- (died 1278) the > comma
Notes
[edit]- I feel that this article's slightly "overnoted" and that some of these could be merged into the prose itself to the article's benefit, particularly: 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, and 11. If it just doesn't fit well then that's fine, but it would be nice to cut down on the number of notes somewhat
Verifiability
[edit]There are some dead/problematic links; if we can archive or replace them, that would be preferrable.
