Thanks for taking this one on Eric; I hope that you enjoy reading it. Midnightblueowl (talk) 15:48, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

References

• There seem to be quite a few cited sources missing from the Bibliography: Wysocki (2013), Garwood (2012), Killick (2012) and Piggott (1935).
  • Well spotted, my silly error. Corrected. Midnightblueowl (talk) 15:48, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

    There still a problem with Ashbee (2005), Lewis (1878) and Smith & Brickley (2009), all listed in the Bibliography but apparently uncited. Eric Corbett 01:10, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

    • I have removed the latter two references from the bibliography, and added several citations to Ashbee 2005. Midnightblueowl (talk) 19:46, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Images

• What do the wiggly black lines running through File:Map of the Medway Megaliths.jpg represent?
  • They are rivers; I hope that that is explained in the caption, even if it is not explicit in the image itself. Midnightblueowl (talk) 15:48, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

    I'd expect rivers to be in blue, and to be named, but obviously this isn't a blocker for this review. Eric Corbett 16:31, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

    • Agreed. I hope to re-draw that map at some point in future; I'll probably replace its slightly garish colour scheme then too. Midnightblueowl (talk) 20:47, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Lead

• "... with a small road being built through the centre of the monument by at least the 19th century." What does "at least" mean? At the latest?
  • Yes; corrected. Midnightblueowl (talk) 11:44, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

The tomb building tradition

• The MoS recommends against beginning a section heading with "The".
  • I see that you have made the change; thank you. Midnightblueowl (talk) 11:44, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

    I hadn't, but I will do now. Eric Corbett 12:06, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

The Medway Megaliths

• As above.
  • Thanks again. Midnightblueowl (talk) 11:44, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Folklore and folk tradition

• "When Thomas Wright investigated the site in about 1850, he was aided by a local man who believed that a crock of gold would be buried there." The use of the subjunctive there is saying that the crock of gold has not yet been buried, but will be at some time in the future.
  • Fair point. Changed. Midnightblueowl (talk) 11:44, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

I think we're good to go now, congratulations! Eric Corbett 20:08, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Much appreciated Eric! Thanks for doing the review; I hope that you found the article to be interesting. Best, Midnightblueowl (talk) 20:26, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
