- Hi there, I'll review this. FunkMonk (talk) 21:15, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
- Many thanks for taking this on. Chiswick Chap (talk) 04:54, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
- Why is the photo in the infobox fair use? Since it was published before 1923, you can upload it freely on English Wikipedia at least.
- I've put PD-1923 on it. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:10, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
- Still seems to have a fair use description template, though, should be repaced with a regular one. FunkMonk (talk) 10:12, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
- Done.

- "was a geologist and mining engineer from Darlington" Mention country. Also in Life and career.
- Done.
- I think the caption of the infobox image is a bit excessive, it is almost a summary of the article. If nothing can be said about the photo itself, date, place, etc.
- Done.
- "of Middlesbrough" Could be linked.
- Done.
- Vaughan should be presented and linked outside the intro too.
- Done.
- "Another son J.W. Marley" Why is he not mentioned in the infobox?
- Done.
- "His nephew, Thomas William Marley was chairman of the North Brancepeth Coal company." Needs source.
- Added.
- You could link Pleuroceras (ammonite).
- Done.
- "Cleveland Ironstone Formation" should be linked at first mention.
- Done.
- Two Ammonite zones" Most readers won't know what this means, you could mention index fossils.
- Glossed.
- "The Northern Echo" Present. What is it?
- Glossed, italics.
- You could link Lias Group at Lias.
- Linked.
- I think the short Legend section could be merged into History and geology (very short paragraphs should not have their own sections), but no big deal.
- But perhaps it is helpful to call out the difference between "Legend" and "Commercial reality", as the legend is by far the more famous.
- "Bolckow Vaughan had already" Which is who?
- Introduced and linked.
- "described his discovery like this:" Seems a bit informal. "As follows"?
- Done.
- "Marley was not exaggerating." Seems a bit too hyperbolic for an encyclopaedia.
- Fixed.
- Can't really find more to add, so will pass it now. Nice! FunkMonk (talk) 11:14, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks very much for the review! Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:18, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
