Comments
[edit]- Foundation and early history -
- untitled subsection -
- The second paragraph is discussing both Stamford and Oxford. I suspect that The Brasenose knocker was taken with them as a symbol of continuity, and .... is referring to Stamford, but the previous sentence seems to be about Oxford. It needs to be clarified where the knocker was taken.

- Foundation -
- A minor point, but in the first paragraph there are inconsistent date formats, i.e. .... 1 June 1509 that the foundation stone for Staircase I was laid.[9] It was not until January 15, 1512....; and there are two short sentences starting: It was on.....
- It's unclear in the final paragraph what Entrants to the college would have been only 11 or 12, with an intake ... is intended to say. I assumed that it was saying 11 or 12 years old, but it could be taken to mean 11 or 12 entrants.
- Seventeenth century -
- Looks OK.
- Eighteenth century -
- Looks OK.
- Nineteenth century -
....stopping at this point, to be continued. Pyrotec (talk) 20:53, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
- Regency period -
- Looks OK.
- Victorian period -
- The first sentence in the first paragraph is hanging, His successor in 1842 was Richard ..., presumably this was Ashurst Turner Gilbert's successor?
- The fourth paragraph talks about a Royal Commission of 1851 without a wikilink or explanation. Wikipedia does have an article on the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 but it does not seems to have any relevance here.
- The following paragraph refers to a second Royal Commission without providing any explanation, or dates.
- First half of the twentieth century -
- unnamed first subsection & Inter-war period -
- These two subsections look OK.
- Second World War -
- I suspect that the second sentence Once again, union was Lincoln was discussed: ... should read with instead of was? But what is Lincoln, as the rest of the sentence talks about Brasenose and Christ Church (Note: presumably Lincoln college, as that name appears in the Victorian period subsection)?
- Second half of the twentieth century & Twenty-first century -
....stopping at this point, to be continued. Pyrotec (talk) 14:21, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
- These two sections look OK.
- WP:Lead -
- Looks OK.
At this point I'm putting the review On Hold. A few minor points need to be addressed, but I would anticipate awarding GA-status quite soon. Pyrotec (talk) 16:01, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
- Should be all done now; we don't have articles on the Royal Commissions so I've done my best to explain as concisely as possible. It is a little messy now, but understandable. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 11:32, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
