Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:
· · ·

"water is a natural spring water" → "water is natural spring water" Done
Link "Fissures" to Fissure Done
"Fissures in the rock retain rain water, which slowly permeates through, escaping at the springs" → "Fissures in the rock retain rain water which then slowly permeates through before escaping at the springs" Done
"The flow depends" → "The flow rate depends" Done
The second paragraph doesn't really flow well. You go from talking about present day to talking about history. Then more history and then back to present day. Try to make it flow better by keeping it more in chronological order. It is also a bit confusing as you don't say if there is a plant now or, if there isn't, how the water is produced nowadays. Done
In the inbox capitalise "natural" as it is practically the start of a new sentence Done

'grocers have bottled" → grocers bottled" Done
"when with the aid of a Lottery Heritage grant," - missing comma between "when" and "with" Done
"would be ceasing as of 3 November 2010" → "would be ceasing on 3 November 2010" Done(rephrased)
"This is due" → "The decision was due" Done(rephrased)
"is being sold" → "is going to be sold" Done(rephrased)

"when during 2006 the rock that filters the water dried out" → "when the rock that filters the water dried out during 2006" Done
"Consequently,the" - missing space Done

In the royalty section does the cite reference the entire paragraph or does it just reference the first sentence. If the first is true then move the cite to the end of the section. If the latter is true then find a cite for the second sentence Done - and expanded with additional refs
You need a cite for "The springs release an average of about 60 litres a minute." Done
Fix the ref problem in ref #15 Done now No. 17.link works but is to WayBack machine
References 18 Done (not dead), 9, 5, 14 Done (MHAONBWaterleafletNorthernHillsrevisedOct10_000.pdf),

8 and 15 are all dead

NOTE: These ref numbers are no longer in sequence, could you please let me know which they are again please. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 11:04, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ok all ref numbers are as of this revision. I found the dead links using this tool.

Fix the red ref error in ref 16 Done his is now ref 17, or at least until I have added more content on the fly.
Link work in ref 13 to Malvern Gazette Done This is now Ref. 12
Refs 10, 19, 9, 6 and 16 are dead Done redundant refs removed, Dead links replaced with more recent URLs.
Bibliography ref 6 is dead Done online link removed. This is a published book, in print and available.
External links 1 and 2 are dead Done fixed and/or updated

Yellow Dingo I believe this is complete now. Many sources were redundant (2 different sources for the same thing - an old habit of mine). Other dead links replaced with up-to-date sources. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:15, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Looking good Kudpung. I'll take a final look at the article tomorrow and I'l hopefully will be able to promote it. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 11:47, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
