There is a significant amount of uncited text throughout the article. The lead is quite long, and should probably be trimmed or reduced. The article uses long blockquotes: this creates copyright concerns and makes the article more difficult to read. I suggest that these be summarised and reduced. The "History and popularity" has a yellow "cleanup needed" banner which should be addressed. Z1720 (talk) 13:32, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with these comments. I don't think the long block quotes give a copyright worry except possibly for the conservation assessment by Rob Cantley, as the others are from 19th-century publications and will be in the public domain. But I agree that they don't particularly aid readability. YFB ¿ 16:32, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hard to see how the long blockquotes can be justified, as they add very little to the article, so I've removed them and cleaned up the 'History and popularity' section, along with quite a few small uncited accretions. I've also tidied up the naming a bit, and trimmed the lead as suggested. The size has come down from 105k to 86k. There remain some paragraphs to be cited.

Recent edits have brought the word count to just over 6,000, which is fine per WP:TOOBIG. I think some paragraphs can be broken up so that they are not too long. Uncited prose still needs to be resolved. Z1720 (talk) 18:42, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Z1720 I've fixed the remaining issues, I believe. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:05, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
