Interesting article. Date and length fine. Photo correctly licensed. Hook fact cited. Sources reliable. No copy vios. Copy edits (primarily just links). However, please review timeline of construction of the Roman fort. Built c. early to mid 2nd C, demol c. 200, shortly after rebuilt, and again rebuilt c. 300. Need to revise article to reflect timeline, and need to repair reference #4. Also, references 1, 7, and 10 are all the same and should be consolidated. I recommend a variation of your hook:
ALT 1 ... that Whitley Castle (pictured) near Alston, Cumbria, England, is the only lozenge-shaped Roman fort? Anne (talk) 22:42, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for your care. I've corrected the timeline, added evidence for the garrison from altar inscriptions, merged refs and added new refs. Happy with Alt1 hook. Hope all fine now. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:04, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
