- Interesting:
- Other problems:
- I would suggest changing the sentence in the article "named for William Moorcroft" to "named after William Moorcroft" to make the wording clearer, and likewise for the hook.
| QPQ: Done. |

This is my first review so I would like a second opinion. jolielover♥talk 16:02, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Jolielover: Thanks for the review—how fun that this was your first. Welcome to the club! I think that "named for" is an Americanism and "named after" is the preference in British English; as the most relevant Engvars in this case would be British, Pakistani, or Indian English, I've adopted the suggested phrasing. By my estimation, I think your review is decent, but let me know if you want any clarifications! ~ Pbritti (talk) 18:33, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Pbritti: Thanks for the feedback, I actually had no clue it was a variation in English so sorry about that! jolielover♥talk 03:37, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Jolielover: Neither did I. Thanks for the review; consider keeping this on your watchlist in case someone has some insights for you to keep in mind in future reviews! Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:40, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
