Hello, over the next couple days, I will review the article to see if it meets the GA criteria. After I finish, I will return here with my review. In the meantime, I will perform minor, noncontroversial copyedits to the article. Thanks! Reaper Eternal (talk) 22:26, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Whoops! My apologies if I caused any edit conflicts with my edit, as I had not noticed you were still editing the article. I'll come back in a few hours to continue the review. Reaper Eternal (talk) 22:34, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Early life

• "...on the outbreak of the English Civil War." The preposition used to introduce this prepositional phrase, "on", is slightly ambiguous. Would "just before the outbreak" or "during the outbreak" serve better?
  • Changed to "following the outbreak". Malleus Fatuorum 01:36, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Siege of Wythenshawe Hall

• I reworded the phrase "shot him dead", as that sounded rather childish. (At least you won't castigate me for being "uncivil".) Feel free to change it back if you want, however.
  • I don't agree that it's at all childish, so I changed it back. Malleus Fatuorum 01:46, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
    • OK.

Later life

• I think that the "d" in the fine amount should be linked to Penny (British pre-decimal coin), as most Americans don't have a clue what it would refer to.
  • I've added the link. Malleus Fatuorum 01:36, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

References

• How did you get the citations to link to the bibliography? I want to do that for the cirrus cloud article I've been working on!
  • I use the {{Harvnb}} template. Malleus Fatuorum 01:36, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
    • Thanks!

Other

• Perhaps including an external link to a road map of the area would be of some use. (For example, [1].)
• Geocoordinates should probably be added.
  • This isn't an article about Wythenshawe Hall, it's about Robert Tatton. Malleus Fatuorum 01:36, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
    • Oops. I guess this is what you get from some idiot who has only done place and weather articles up until now!

I now believe that this article passes the good article criteria. Thanks for your work improving Wikipedia! Reaper Eternal (talk) 10:42, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
