Hello G-13114 and thanks for all your improvements to this article. However, despite the improvements, the article fails criterion 2b since there are too many unreferenced paragraphs. Examples are the paragraphs starting with "Rugby is administered by two local authorities:", "The Borough of Rugby was created in its current", and "One of the last links to Rugby's rural past". Also: the whole subsection "Places of interest" lacks references. According to criterion 2b, these passages require inline citations "no later than the end of the paragraph". I suggest that you add all the relevant references before a renomination.

• Sentence: Rugby's position on a hill overlooking the Avon, made it an ideal location for a defended Dobunni watch settlement.
  • Suggested change: remove the comma after "Avon"
  • Explanation: The comma is unnecessary and disrupts the flow of the sentence.
• Sentence: ...1861. reaching nearly 17,000 by 1901...

  • Suggested change: capitalize "since"
  • Explanation: "Since" should be capitalized as it starts a new sentence.

• Sentence: The Rugby Lawn Tennis Club, is one of the oldest in the world, having been established in 1876.
