• I propose to take on this review and will study the article in detail in the next couple of days. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:27, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

First reading

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?
  • That's all for the moment. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:12, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
    • Thanks for taking on this review. I am away on holiday until Monday but I will address all of your comments before the week deadline. Many thanks, --Noswall59 (talk) 08:58, 4 August 2017 (UTC).

        • Cwmhiraeth, thanks for your patience, I believe I have corrected all of these issues now; I also noticed a couple of formatting errors in the references which I've amended. The one issue you bring up which I cannot address is the lack of photograph; regrettably, I have found none. Thank you once again for your review; if any more action is required, do let me know. Cheers, —Noswall59 (talk) 17:12, 5 August 2017 (UTC).
