Hi. I'm Calvin999 and I am reviewing this nomination.  — Calvin999 17:37, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

Info box and lead

• Country parameter in the info box says United Kingdom, but the first line of the lead says England. I, personally, think England should be used. England is a country, United Kingdom is a sovereign state.

Done

• which date to the late → which date back to the late

Done

• century, first → century: first

Done

• in electrical storm. → in an electrical storm

Done

• Why does the info box not include the apostrophe at the Denys but include it in the lead?

Fixed—well caught!

• The architectural historian Sir Nikolaus Pevsner states is → This doesn't read right

Fixed

Description

• of Sleaford → Link Sleaford here, not in the 'most of the market town of Sleaford' part. Unless you've done this for a specific reason?

Done

History

• David Roffe and Christine Mahan → Who are these people?

Information added (David Roffe is also a prominent Domesday academic)

• early 13th, possibly c. 1220. → Doesn't 13th need to be followed by 'century'?

Yes, added

• by Thomas Blount and John de Bucham, merchants, → the the merchants Thomas Blount and John de Bucham,

Tweaked as above

• mid- to late → Is that hyphen supposed to be there?

Removed

• looted the brass eagle lectern (last recorded in 1622),[23] broke the stained glass windows and the organ, and looted → Use of 'looted' is slightly repetitive.

Replaced last use with "stole"

• builders Kirk and Parry; Yerburgh and Thomas Parry were → Is this the same Parry?

Yes - I believe I have clarified this - let me know what you think.

• Is 'Kirk and Parry' the name of the builders, as in a duo?

Yes, but it was also the name they traded under; there were (successively) two Charles Kirks in the firm.

Outcome

On hold for 7 days. Interesting article.  — Calvin999 17:58, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for taking this on. Your comments are much appreciated and I have fixed all of them but the last two - could you perhaps clarify how best to tweak the wording for them? King regards, —Noswall59 (talk) 18:11, 19 August 2015 (UTC).

Ah okay I get it now. I was just a bit confused at first due to the omission of first names and then a full name after a surname. Everything else done?  — Calvin999 18:21, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

I can see everything is done. Passing.  — Calvin999 19:01, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
