I'll get to this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:56, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

• No DABs, external links good
• Images appropriately licensed.
• Link earthworks, pound symbol, River Monnow

• Earthworks and river done; the MOS would prefer us not to link the pound though, as its a common unit of currency. Hchc2009 (talk) 08:57, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

• OK, but I think that the MOS overestimates the ability to recognize the symbol as opposed to the spelled out name. Forex, I rarely ever see the euro symbol in any of the newspapers that I read.

• In 1135, a major Welsh revolt link to this if possible

• This one bugged me too... I've struggled to find anything good to link it to, to be honest - there's no article on it. The closest I can find is King Stephen's biography, which feels a bit obscure/easter egg-ish. Hchc2009 (talk) 08:57, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

• Sounds reasonable.

• Nicely done.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:16, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
  • Note that I fixed a couple of adjectival measurements like 9-foot-high wall, etc., for you. Try to keep them in mind for your next articles. ;-) Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:52, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
