Criteria

A good article is—

Well-written:

(a) the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct; and

(b) it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.^[1]

Verifiable with no original research:

(a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline;

(b) reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose);^[2] and

(c) it contains no original research.

Broad in its coverage:

(a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic;^[3] and

(b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).

Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.

^[4]

Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:

^[5]

(a) media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content; and

Discussion

Lead
- Since the lead is meant to summarise the overall article, the Grade I listed status and the oldest house part should be incorporated into the body of the article. In fact any more information you have on when the building was grade I listed would also be handy (slotted into the history subsection.
  - I've added these bits into the history section.— Rod ^talk 07:33, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

History
- It seems like we're missing about 500 years of history here - is there really nothing to add for this period?
  - This is one of the problems with the last few National Trust properties in Somerset I'm trying to get to GA (to complete another GT) - there are very limited sources that I can find from which to work. Meaning that, although short, I'm trying to make them as comprehensive as the sources will allow.— Rod ^talk 07:33, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - Fair enough, I just had to ask the question to ensure the comprehensiveness bit of the requirements was met. Miyagawa (talk) 07:50, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Architecture
- When was the limewash removed?
  - 1995 added.— Rod ^talk 07:33, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Those are the points that immediately come to mind, I'll take another look once they've been addressed. I also can't help but wonder if it is comprehensive enough in the subject matter. Miyagawa (talk) 22:39, 11 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there's anything outstanding - its just a shame there isn't more on an interesting building. Happy to pass. Miyagawa (talk) 07:50, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Additional notes

^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
^ Either parenthetical references or footnotes can be used for in-line citations, but not both in the same article.
^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
^ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of unconstructive editing should be placed on hold.
^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
