I will be reviewing this soon. IntentionallyDense (talk) 05:17, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi IntentionallyDense, I have updated the article per your feedback. Let me know what you think. SkywalkerEccleston (talk) 05:21, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rate	Attribute	Review Comment
1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	Prose looks good, I have no complaints here. IntentionallyDense (talk) 17:27, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	See comments below. IntentionallyDense (talk) 17:27, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
2. Verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 17:27, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).	I checked about half the sources and found no issues. IntentionallyDense (talk) 17:27, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	2c. it contains no original research.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 17:27, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 17:27, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.	see comments below. IntentionallyDense (talk) 17:27, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).	IntentionallyDense (talk) 17:27, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 17:27, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 17:27, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 17:27, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 17:27, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	7. Overall assessment.	I'm going to put this on hold pending some minor tweaks. Overall this article is really good. Great work! IntentionallyDense (talk) 17:27, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The first ref in the lead isn't needed since his birthdate and death are verified in the body. IntentionallyDense (talk) 17:27, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The lead isn't quite what I'm expecting from a GA. I don't feel like the quotes need to be there and the lead doesn't really tell me what this guy is known for. I suggest you read Wikipedia:How to create and manage a good lead section to help you improve the lead a bit. IntentionallyDense (talk) 17:27, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have updated the lead. Let me know if this works as I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for. SkywalkerEccleston (talk) 05:20, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good. Thank you for making those changes! IntentionallyDense (talk) 20:34, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Morris had ten brothers and sisters, and he was known as Will or Bill to his family. I feel like this could be moved to the paragraph above it so it's not just a random sentence and I don't think Will or Bill need to be bolded. IntentionallyDense (talk) 17:27, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The first time you use abbreviations such as "OBE" and "OM" they should be spelt out fully. IntentionallyDense (talk) 17:27, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have changed OBE to Order of the British Empire SkywalkerEccleston (talk) 05:19, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I feel like you could squeeze out a bit more info from your sources. For example, you say The Morris family has been noted as being particularly liberal for their time. when your sources provide more detail on the topic and explain what actually made them liberal for the time. I suggest you go back and read through some of the sources you used and see what more you can get from them WP:MINE may help you with this. IntentionallyDense (talk) 17:27, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have added more information from the sources SkywalkerEccleston (talk) 05:19, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
