Alright I will be picking up the review of this one - both for the Wiki Cup and the GA cup as well.

Side note, I would love some input on a Featured List candidate (Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship) and a Featured Article candidate (CMLL World Heavyweight Championship). I am not asking for Quid pro Quo, but all help is appreciated.  MPJ-US  03:06, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

GA Toolbox

I like to get this checked out first, I have found issues using this that has led to quick fails so it's important this passes muster.

Well Written

Lead

• "Anglo-Saxon period, while mills" does not need the comma
  • Done
• "In the 19th century the" comma after century
  • Done

Early

• "material has been" I believe "have" is appropriate here
  • Done
• "pottery sherds", I assume that is supposed to be "shards"??
  • No, sherds. Linked.
• "ten mills in" should be 10 since you use 11 and 12 in the same sentence
  • Done
• "the 11 or 12" 11th? 12th?
  • Sorry, but I can't see a problem with this sentence.

Early and later modern

• "with exception of" should be "with the exception of"
  • Done
• "By 1872 the" should be "By 1872, the"
  • Done
• "In 1879 Lord Bristol" should be "In 1879, Lord Bristol"
  • Done
• "sold much farmland" should that be "sold much of their farmland"
  • Done

Topography

• "and the to north" should be "and to the north"
  • Done

Economy

• "the population, while" does not need the comma
  • Done

Demographics

• "it were divided" should be "was", singular as it refers back to "the population"
  • No, it refers to the population statistics: "the population statistics for the new Sleaford parish[,] which absorbed it[,] were divided into four wards".
• "Instead a church" should be "Instead, a church"
  • Done

• Learned a new word today. Looking good now. Y  MPJ-US  14:53, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Sources/verifiable

• Generally looks reliable and well formed Y

Broad in coverage

• Looks like it's generally hitting the various sections normally in this type of articles. Y

Neutral

• It is very factual. straight forward, not prone to embellishment etc.

Stable

• I don't see any evidence of edit wars in the history, granted it has an extensive history but nothing jumped out at me. Y

Illustrated / Images

• Images need Alt text
• Licenses check out Y

@Noswall59: - I have completed my review, really not a lot of issues found. I would say that the article is 99% right now. So I will put it on hold for 7 days to allow you to work on it.  MPJ-US  20:58, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

@MPJ-DK: Thank you very much for taking the time to review this article. I have addressed most of your comments through these edits, but I have queried two or three of your points (see above). Cheers, —Noswall59 (talk) 11:43, 15 March 2016 (UTC).
