Hi! I am interested to review this. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 04:20, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Lead

• Could England be linked? I have seen the country linked in many articles.

Done JAGUAR  11:45, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

• According to the 2011 census of England?

• I've linked the United Kingdom Census 2011 JAGUAR  11:45, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

• According to the 2011 census, it had a population of 849 This important fact has not been mentioned in the main text. I guess the citation could go there as well.

• Oops, forgot about that. I've added it in the geography and demographics section JAGUAR  11:45, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

• a progressive public school I think "progressive" could be linked to Progressive education

• Done JAGUAR  11:45, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Prehistory to Roman

• The village name has been spelled in various ways Are all these names in English or in French as well? Foreign names are typically kept in italics.

• Added italics to the French names (I'm curious to know why it had French names in the first place) JAGUAR  11:45, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

• La Stuppe, La Stiepe When were these used? Are they still used? Should be clear.

• 'La Stuppe, La Stiepe were both used in the 14 century, it is identified with the brackets after 'Stupe'. I hope that makes sense for the reader? JAGUAR  11:45, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

• Can "ridge" be linked?

• Done JAGUAR  11:45, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

• An ancestor of mine who migrated from Steep to Nottingham in the 1870s is recorded in the 1881 census as coming from Stup. I guess this represents his pronunciation at the time, as I doubt the census enumerator in Nottingham knew anything about Steep.Sjwells53 (talk) 19:21, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

Medieval to Tudor

• The early 17th century was also described as a "great rebuilding" of the village described by whom?

• I assume William Page, the author who wrote the history of Steep JAGUAR  11:45, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

• Can "depression" be linked?

Linked Depression (economics) JAGUAR  11:45, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

19th century to Second World War

• Can "conduit" be linked?

• Linked JAGUAR  11:45, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

• and his children attended Bedales School and his wife also taught there Can we avoid repeating the "and...and" structure?

• Rephrased JAGUAR  11:45, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Geography and demographics

• Steep is located in the eastern southern part of Hampshire Could be clearer if we write "eastern part of southern Hampshire".

• Good catch, done JAGUAR  11:45, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

• "Steep Marsh" is a duplink.

• I clicked the link and it directs to Steep Marsh just fine? Maybe it was an error on the toolserver's part JAGUAR  11:45, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

• sandy loam, with the subsoil being gravel and sand I think we need more links here.

• Linked everything but sand, as I thought that would be overlinking JAGUAR  11:45, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

• The prominent crops are wheat, barley, and oats I think we need not link "wheat" at least.

• Agreed, delinked! JAGUAR  11:45, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Notable landmarks

• Can chancel and nave be linked or explained?

• I've linked them, they seem to be important in church architecture JAGUAR  11:45, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

• Ropley is a duplink

• Strange. Again, Ropley links fine? JAGUAR  11:45, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

• The Harrow is an 18th-century Grade II listed public house and was first built in the 18th century Can we avoid repeating "18th century"?

• Cut JAGUAR  11:45, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Possible paraphrasing

Earwig's copyvio detector showed some paraphrasing from the website [[1]]. You can see the results here. This should be repaired. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 05:48, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

• I've done some copyediting. The British History Online is by far the best source, but its stylisation is so old that it's difficult to rephrase some of it. JAGUAR  11:50, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Sources: Ref. 6 seems a bit cloudy. I am not sure if Google Maps can be used as a source.

• You're right. I removed it; I don't think it's necessary to source how far the nearest town is etc. JAGUAR  11:50, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

That should be all. Good luck! Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 04:55, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Thank you so much for the review Sainsf! I think I've got everything. I made this article as comprehensive as possible, but it's hard to do so with only a handful of sources. I was lucky enough to find what sources I could anyway, as information on these places are scarce. I wish I could have found better photos on the internet, the scenery is stunning. JAGUAR  11:50, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Awesome Jaguar! About duplinks, they are simply repeated links. No trouble with the links themselves, but we typically link terms once in the article. That done, I would be happy to pass this article. Indeed, I would love to see the scenery. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 11:58, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Oops, all done now. I've delinked the duplinks. Yeah, the scenery is stunning, it's called Steep for a reason! I was surprised that there weren't any images on it. JAGUAR  12:23, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Hehe, I wish I could take a dozen snaps of it! I am mad at scenery. Getting back to business, I believe the article is ready for GA status now. The copyvio issue has improved and is not serious. The prose is excellent and supported by a sufficient number of sources. I gladly promote this article. Congrats! Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 12:32, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
