Should be able to get to this by the w/e. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 04:47, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
Toolbox checks -- no dab or EL issues.
Structure/prose/content
- Pls let me know any concerns with my light copyedit.
- "During the Second World War the castle probably housed an anti-aircraft battery as part of the defences created around Portland Harbour." -- I realise the source is equivocal but it seems a bit surprising that we'd be unsure of the castle housing an AA battery during WWII; any chance of checking other sources for confirmation?
- I can't find any... I rather suspect that Historic England's uncertainty in this case probably comes from the original primary description of where the battery was put. You often have quite vague descriptions in the wartime records about where they put a particular sub-unit or item of materiel, which then have to be linked up to physical remains (e.g. left-over concrete slabs, altered stonework etc.) in modern surveys to prove they were placed in a castle (for example), rather than a nearby location. In this instance, we apparently don't have any physical trace of it, although it would have made a lot of sense to put the battery there, and indeed entirely in keeping with the wider pattern along the coast.

- No prob, just checking -- passing as GA. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 10:42, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
Images/sources -- no issues leapt out.
Looks good, will just await response to the sole query above (not a showstopper if the current source is the best we have). Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 04:26, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
Paul III
editThe article says Henry VIII broke with Paul III in 1533, but the Wikipedia page on Paul III says he became Pope in 1534. Which date is correct or does this article have the wrong Pope? 2-2-2016 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.95.126.175 (talk) 14:49, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
- He fell out with both of them in very short succession... I've amended. Hchc2009 (talk) 18:04, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
