First reading

[edit]

In general, this article is well written and well referenced. I usually look at the lead last, so as to check whether it is a good summary of the rest of the article.

  • "he had a brother, William Walker Stansfield" - it is not clear who "he" refers to here.
  • In fact the first sentence in this section is too long and complex and should be divided.
  • "The family were ..." - "Family" is a singular noun and so the verbs in this sentence need to be in the singular.
  • "The post-war years" - Having not previously mentioned a war, you need to specify which one you are referring to.
  • "The post-war years and their changes frustrated him, spurring his retirement." - So when did he retire?
  • Returning now to the lead, it seems to be a good summary of the main text and in fact mentions the date of retirement.
  • It would be nice to have an image of him, is there nothing available?
