Lots of CN's close to the end of the article, mild copyediting is also required. Doesn't look like there's a lot of citations for the size of the article. Orange tags at 2023 fire and Historical sketches and hotel guests. 🌶️Jalapeño🌶️ Don't click this link! 20:42, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- Will work on this ASAP. There has been much editing recently because of the fire; haven't had a chance to work on it yet. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 20:49, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- Quick comments:
- The "historical sketches and hotel guests" section was not present at the time this article was promoted to GA (actually, it was added here without sources in 2020). The unsourced portions of this section should either be removed or backed up by reliable sources
- The 2023 fire section suffers from recentism; the need for copyediting may be related to the disproportionate length of this section, which seems overly detailed. I'd recommend cutting this to one paragraph, which may also resolve these grammatical issues.
- The "Present day" section may need to be updated to reflect the impact of the 2023 fire.
- Otherwise, the article doesn't look that bad. In response to @Jalapeño's GAR statement, the GA criteria do not require a certain amount of citations in proportion to the size of the article; they only require that everything is backed up by a reliable source. – Epicgenius (talk) 17:11, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
- Cut down the 2023 fire section. Citations still needed for that last section. 123Writer talk 19:50, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
- Though I'll add I don't really think that section is even necessary. It should be cut down to the most notable and relevant verified guests (the "three aristocratic guests" story and the whole Gilbert can-can thing definitely should go), or cut entirely. 123Writer talk 19:56, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
- Couldn't find anything about Sackville staying at the Albion. Only the Metropole also in Brighton (The Bolter, Osbourne 2009). Found sources for everything else though. 123Writer talk 11:25, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
