Would review this one. Artem.G (talk) 13:45, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Comments:

• "Prior to the creation of Tyne and Wear" - link Tyne and Wear
  • Done.
• "In the 2001 UK Census the population of Cleadon was recorded as 4,795.[1]" - move it from lead to Demography
  • Done. Also un-linked the repetition of 2011 UK Census in Demography section.
• "Cleadon and East Boldon was 8,427.[2]" - remove ref from lead, it should be referenced in Demography
  • Done.
• "a nationally important example" - is it a quote from some official document? I don't have opinion on that, just though that this is strange. (I mean I understand how is it "important example", but why national?)
  • I think I must have got this from the Village Atlas, where Cleadon Hills as having "regionally and nationally rare species". I have modified the intro to make it more accurate, let me know if a reference should go there as well.
• "Population 8,427 (2011. South Tyneside ward of Cleadon and East Boldon)" - move it to note
  • I have moved "2011. South Tyneside ward of Cleadon and East Boldon" to a note, is that what you meant?
• "The name Clyduedon roughly translates to hill (dun) of the cliffs (clifta)." - is it Old English? Or Latin?
  • I've found a reference for the etymology - it's Old English.
• "Cleadon and Whitburn's entry in the Boldon Book refers to land ownership, dues, and services, suggesting that a complex administrative system had been in place a number of years before 1183. It also mentions a pound or pinfold where stray animals were kept, the location of which today is marked by a plaque which reads:" and the quote are unreferenced
  • I think the refs got lost somewhere in the line break. I've fixed and also tweaked the wording slightly. I have placed the reference for the blue plaque text itself before the blockquote - do let me know if it should go elsewhere.
• "An estimation of the population of the township at this time" - better to use "in 12th century" for clarity
  • Done.
• " It also faced threats of invasion from Scotland and a radical change in the climate in the early 1300s." - can any examples be added here? were there any battles with Scots, and what "radical change" was there?
  • I've added a few examples which were included in the source.
• "A blue plaque outside the front of the house reads:" - unreferenced
  • I have added a reference to South Tyneside Council's entry on the blue plaque. The webpage includes an image of the plaque where the text can be read. There is no attribution on the plaque itself so I have not included an author in the blockquote.
• "The chimney has balcony which is 82 feet (25m)" - use convert template
  • Done.
• "The Stables microbrewery was opened in April 2021 on Front Street.." - redundant fullstop.
  • Fixed.
• " The historic grotto also still stands today today." - redundant 'today', and 'also still' looks awkward
  • Thanks, have tried re-wording.
• Transport - unreferenced
  • Done - have added references.

That's all for now. Article is really nice with a few minor points that can be easily addressed. Will check the sources a bit later. Artem.G (talk) 13:45, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

• Thanks for reviewing this one, Artem.G, really appreciate it. I've made a start at addressing your points above. Look forward to hearing more! Unexpectedlydian (talk) 22:52, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
  • Great, thanks for quick response! I've checked some refs and everything seems to be ok; all images are tagged appropriately; the only point remained is unsourced Transport section. Once some ref would be added, I'll pass the article. Artem.G (talk) 17:59, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
    • Hi Artem.G, I have now referenced the Transport section. Managed to cite sources in the current bibliography and find a service list for Go North East. Unexpectedlydian (talk) 22:12, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
      • Thanks! And congratulations, it's GA now! Artem.G (talk) 07:25, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
