• Well-written

a. the prose is clear and concise, it respects copyright laws, and the spelling and grammar are correct

b. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation

Here is a list of sentence or grammar errors I discovered.

1. "and the estate was later sold the estate" - This needs tor re-written as it's grammarly incorrect.

2. "between 1985 and 1986 and 1989" - Simply writing "between 1985-89" is fine.

3. "may have influenced the construction Henry IV's gatehouse at Lancaster Castle" - The word "of" is missing between "construction" and "Henry IV's".

4. "where he met by a wizard and led inside" - The word "was" is missing between "he" and "met".

This article is excellently written. Giving the length, I was expecting to find lots of errors, but was only able to find four. Good job. :)

• Verifiable with no original research

a. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline

b. It provides in-line citations from reliable sources for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines

c. It contains no original research

The mostly uses book sources which are listed below and contain the necessary text information and also uses a few online sources which also contain the necessary text information. All in all, great sources.

• Broad in its coverage

a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic

b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail

The article is very broad, focuses on the main topics and does not go into unnecessary detail.

• Neutral

It represents viewpoints fairly and without bias, giving due weight to each

The article is neutral and does not include personal opinions or statements.

• Stable

It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute

The article is very stable with the last content dispute occurring in 2006. Its content does not change significantly from day to day (with exception of the expansions or improvements done in preparation for the GA-nomination).

• Illustrated

a. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content

b. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions

The article is very handsomely illustrated with a total of 16 images, which is understandable giving the length. All the images are uploaded and from Commons and contain the necessary text information.

• Pass, fail or hold?

With the article meeting the GA-criteria I'm of course going to pass it. Excellent job people. :) Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 12:31, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
