Re: GA

[edit]

@Serial Number 54129: I'm not intending to do a thorough review this article (to be honest, I don't know enough about the subject to feel I can do a good job of the task), but I have copyedited both the "Background" and "Legacy" sections, as well as tidying the location pins on map and adding categories (it had no categories, so would have instantly failed GA!) If those two sections are anything to go by, quite a bit of copyediting will also be needed on the "Dispute" section before it has a chance of beign accepted as GA standard. From what I can see, though, the article is thorough enough that applying for GA for it is not out of the question. One big concern I have is the title, which is incredibly cumbersome - isn't there an easier way to refer to this dispute? Grutness...wha? 11:13, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute section is now also proofread and copyedited. Grutness...wha? 11:52, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Grutness: Excellent work, it's highly appreciated. How did you come to see it so soon? Not that it matters, you've got a really keen eye. To be honest, mine is far less so- as to GA standards, well, on principle the reviewer should have something to do! And yes, I often forget about catagories, as I tend to stop after the referencing.
Re. the name: it's a tricky one. see, this isn't something that historians have already "given" a pat name (cf. Bonville–Courtenay feud, Neville–Neville feud, Percy–Neville feud), so I had to self-describe it. Over can probably go, since they came into the dispute so late. Dispute between the village of Darnhall and Vale Royal Abbey, perhaps? Thanks again for all your work on this, >SerialNumber54129...speculates 12:06, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No problem :) "Dispute between the village of Darnhall and Vale Royal Abbey" is better, though still long - perhaps just "Dispute between Darnhall and Vale Royal Abbey"? As to how I found out about it, you linked the page to the Marton disambiguation page which I created, so I was automatically told about the link. The title of the article intrigued me so I took a look. Grutness...wha? 00:09, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
