- Comment: A joint nomination with Girth Summit
Improved to Good Article status by Gog the Mild (talk) and Girth Summit (talk). Nominated by Gog the Mild (talk) at 15:09, 29 July 2020 (UTC).
Recent GA, well-written and thoroughly referenced, and quite comprehensive to someone not familiar with the subject. AGF on offline sources. Hook is interesting, in the article, and cited (AGF on offline source). Image is in the article and appropriately licensed. QPQ done. A fairly straightforward good-to-go nomination.

- We might as well run this on 3 September, the date of the battle. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:40, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
- Cwmhiraeth, good idea. Gog the Mild, should we modify the hook to include the words "370 years ago today" after "Battle on Dunbar"? GirthSummit (blether) 11:30, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
