• Overlinks
  • William II Canynges
  • stained glass
  • chancel (twice)

• • Removed.— Rod ^talk 20:43, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

• History
  • I'd link Perpendicular.

• • Done.— Rod ^talk 20:43, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

• Architecture and fittings
  • Something has gone awry with the opening sentence. Removing the unwanted "the" before England would be a start, but it would still read oddly. I suggest something like, "St Mary Redcliffe is one of the largest parish churches in England, and according to some sources it is the largest of all."

• • Revised per your suggestion.— Rod ^talk 20:43, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

• • "Lady Chapel" – capitalised here, but not in the earlier Architecture and fittings section. Most of the examples given in the OED capitalise Lady and about half of them also capitalise Chapel.

• • All now caps.— Rod ^talk 20:43, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

• • The last sentence of the second paragraph has an outbreak of capitalisation that doesn't match the style of the rest of the article.

• • Sorry I'm not seeing this one.— Rod ^talk 20:43, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

• The church bells
  • "Liverpool Cathedral" at first mention but "Liverpool Anglican Cathedral" at second mention. Better the other way round perhaps.

• • Done.— Rod ^talk 20:43, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

• • "Tenor" is sometimes capitalised and sometimes not. Not seems more sensible, as it isn't a name.

• • Now lower case.— Rod ^talk 20:43, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

• • "semi-tone bells" – I know nothing of bell-ringing, but in music "semitone" is not hyphenated.

• • Done.— Rod ^talk 20:43, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

• • "diatonic" – could do with a blue link

• • Linked to Diatonic scale.— Rod ^talk 20:43, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

• Organists, choirmasters and directors of music
  • The opening sentence needs punctuating. A semicolon after "organists" would do.

• • Dne.— Rod ^talk 20:43, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

• • It does seem somewhat disproportionate to list the organists and choirmasters but not the vicars. That said, the GA criteria do not require an article to be comprehensive, and this strange imbalance is therefore not a bar to promotion.

• • They are not full lists and only "significant" ones mentioned in the sources are included. A full list of vicars would be massive and I have not seen a full list anywhere I have read.— Rod ^talk 20:43, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Nothing of great moment there. I look forward to cutting the ribbon when you have addressed these few points. – Tim riley talk 13:48, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. I have attempted to address most of your comments above, but couldn't work out "last sentence of the second paragraph". Could you take another look?— Rod ^talk 20:43, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

I'm not surprised you couldn't find them. I neglected to add a header. It is the second para of "Stained glass" to which I was trying to refer: Choir Aisles and North Transept (and West Window in the next para). So sorry for spreading confusion. Tim riley talk 20:53, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Thanks - hopefully got them now.— Rod ^talk 20:57, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Good! All fine!
