- "west highlands of Scotland" is there a suitable link?
- Not to the west highlands, as far as I can see, but I've pushed in a Scottish Highlands link
- Four-para lead seems a bit over the top for an article of this length, I'd aim for two.
- I've folded the first two into one, but the line about the station doesn't seem to quite fit into the flow of either. We could lose that altogether I suppose, but it seems an interesting fact worth keeping in the lead.
- "Member of Parliament" link?
- Done — Amakuru (talk) 13:11, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- "outbreak of World War II the castle " no need to link the war, and I'd put a comma after II.
- Done. — Amakuru (talk) 13:11, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- "operating until its closure" well, yes. Perhaps "operating in this capacity until its closure" or similar?
- Done. — Amakuru (talk) 13:11, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- On GMaps, it looks more like it's east of Skye.
- Good observation. Fixed. — Amakuru (talk) 13:11, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- "the Scottish baronial style" consistent: b or B?
- Done. I've made it consistently b, per the linked article title.
- "a category C listed building since " to hyphenate or not to hyphenate...
- Hyphenated. And link made consistent too. — Amakuru (talk) 13:31, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- "The castle is served by Duncraig railway station, which is unstaffed and operated by Abellio ScotRail, lying between Stromeferry and Plockton on the Kyle of Lochalsh line.[8] " check out the last sentence of the first para of this section... some organisation required.
- Fixed. — Amakuru (talk) 13:31, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- "Named Duncraig railway station, it was" overlinked.
- Sentence tweaked. It doesn't really need to repeat the name anyway. — Amakuru (talk) 13:31, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- "education centre, for local" no need for that comma.
- Done. — Amakuru (talk) 13:31, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- "outbreak of World War II in " again, no need to link.
- Done. — Amakuru (talk) 13:31, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- You link BBC1 but not BBC, I'd do both.
- Done. — Amakuru (talk) 13:31, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- "business in Nottingham" in the lead you say this lot were from England so perhaps either link Nottingham or put "England" afterwards? Global audience and all that...
- I've linked it and also put England. — Amakuru (talk) 13:31, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- "operating a bed and breakfast (B&B) in the" overlinked.
- Fixed. — Amakuru (talk) 13:31, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- "informed The Press and Journal newspaper" italics.
- Done. — Amakuru (talk) 13:31, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- Ref 6 publisher/website/author/work?
- Done. It was published by the castle itself, but I've indicated as such. — Amakuru (talk) 13:31, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- Same for ref 7.
- Done. — Amakuru (talk) 13:31, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- Ref 11 page number?
- I don't have a copy of the paper book unfortunately, and the GBooks is some sort of e-book copy, with virtual page numbers that don't match the original. I have included "Chapter: Duncraig" in the hope that can point readers to the right place. — Amakuru (talk) 13:31, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- "British Newspaper Archive" appears twice in ref 13.
- Fixed. — Amakuru (talk) 13:31, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- NYT is a subscription-only website, needs that url-access job.
- Done. — Amakuru (talk) 13:31, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- Ref 20 could add online source.
- Done. — Amakuru (talk) 13:31, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- Ref 24 en-dash instead of spaced hyphen.
- Done. — Amakuru (talk) 13:31, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- General: what's the approach to linking in refs of work/publisher etc?
- I'm aiming mostly to link where possible, with the exception of works published by Duncraig Castle itself, because that would be a self-referential link! Hopefully this has now been made consistent. — Amakuru (talk) 09:18, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
