Comments:
- The lead of the article is very short, Per WP:LEAD, the lead is supposed to be a sufficient summary of what is presented in the article.
- Citations should not be in the lead.
- What is LNWR an abbreviation for? This should be indicated.
- "The canal closed in 1864.[1] Despite this, the railway when built did not run on the line of the old canal.[1]": If both sentences use the same source, it only needs to be indicated once.
- "4 miles (6.4 km)" should have the adjective parameter on.
- In sentence "The water supply for locomotives at Wolverton was insufficient, so a water column was built at the intermediate station of Bradwell.", "of" should be "in".
- In sentence "Water came from the town's own supply, with many houses losing their supply.", you use "supply" twice. Can more variety in wording be used?
- Combine the sentences "Despite this, the LNWR considered electrification of the line in 1904, believing such a scheme would bring about considerable savings. The idea never materialised."
- Are there any historical picutures of the railroad that can be added to the article?
I am placing the article on hold. Dough4872 (talk) 23:20, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
- I can't really think of anything else to put in the lead. Also, what do you mean by 'adjective parameter' for the convert template? I can't find any images either. Oliver Fury, Esq. message • contributions 23:41, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
