Where is the alt name of "Crookbarrow Hill" mentioned/referenced in the main body?

Mentioned and reffed - Dumelow (talk) 05:50, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to link Worcestershire, I imagine a high portion of our readers have no idea.

Linked and added England also

Could you be a touch more specific in the lead to those of who do know where Worcs is, whereabouts in Worcs?

went with "central Worcestershire" - Dumelow (talk) 05:52, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"clayey" might be worth linking, this is such an awful word, and it may confuse.

Linked to clay. Flashbacks to an engineering geology course ("grey sandy well-graded sub-rounded gravel with silt" etc.) - Dumelow (talk) 06:00, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Should The Red Book of Worcester be in italics and indeed linked if notable?

Indeed yes. Italicised and linked, another to add to the list of articles to create! - Dumelow (talk) 06:00, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"The tump, recognisable" is there a dicdef/link/footnote for "tump"? It's certainly a word I'm unaware of.

There is a basic definition at Wiktionary but I think the opening paragraph at list of tumps (to which [[tump) redirects) is better (though unreferenced), linked - Dumelow (talk) 06:04, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"as a land mark" one word or two?

Went with landmark as or article is at that name - Dumelow (talk) 06:06, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"pre-historic"/ prehistoric.

Went with prehistoric as our article is at that name - Dumelow (talk) 06:06, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"passed in Middlesex" link.

Linked - Dumelow (talk) 06:07, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's all I have on a first read. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 20:26, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review The Rambling Man, I think I've addressed your poitns above - Dumelow (talk) 06:07, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
