After a massive expansion, the intention is to take this article to FAC. There's some feedback on the article's talk page that is being addressed, but the more angles the better. Depending on how serious the comments here are, I intend to nominate at FAC sometime next week, so comment now! Thanks for your time, Nev1 (talk) 01:16, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Just had a quick browse through the article, and it all looks pretty good MoS and presentation-wise. The only thing I noticed was that the dashes used in the prose should be unspaced emdashes. For example: "Keep was not a term used in the medieval period – the term was applied from the 16th century onwards – and donjon was used to refer to great towers" --> "Keep was not a term used in the medieval period—the term was applied from the 16th century onwards—and donjon was used to refer to great towers" Cheers, Abraham, B.S.

Per MOS:DASH, spaced endashes are "a stylistic alternative to em dashes". It doesn't really matter which is used, but I think spaced endashes look neater and it's easier to keep it like it is sice it's allowed by MOS. Thanks, Nev1 (talk) 15:06, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Heh, that must be a new addition as I do not remember seeing it before. I must admit, I much prefer emdashes in such cases, though it is up to you. ;-) Cheers, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 03:12, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
