Battle of Dunnichen[edit]

This article has been nominated for GA, but it looks like it will take a while for this to be initiated. I'd like to ensure it's of the best possible quality by that time. Catfish Jim and the soapdish (talk) 15:19, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for the delay in review, but I have a few general pointers:

  • Dates should be delinked.
  • As this is a British article, I would recommend the date format to be that of the British variant as opposed to the United States variant that is in place.
  • Endashes are required between date ranges used in the article, and page ranges used in citations rather than general dashes.
  • Images require alt text.
  • Why is "Battle" capitalised in the "Account of the Battle" section heading?
  • I think some further information and description is required on the battle, if possible.

Hi, just a quick one I'm afraid as I've not got much time:

  • Citations: not all paragraphs are covered by an inline citation. The general rule for B class in the project is (I believe) that each paragraph should be covered by one in line citation as a bare minimum. The Account of the Battle section needs a few more citations in this regard. The second paragraph in the Aftermath section also needs a citation;
  • Length: I think that as the article's title is the Battle of Dunnichen, you need to expand the Account of the Battle section as currently it is smaller than the Background and Location sections;
  • As per Bryce's comment, the capitalisation of Account of the Battle section is not correct, it should be "Account of the battle" per WP:MOSHEAD
  • The use of three quote boxes in a row impacts upon the look of the article in my opinion (although it is only a personal thing). Is there a way that you could incorporate the quotes into the text rather than using those boxes?

Anyway, hope this helps. Good luck with the GAR. — AustralianRupert (talk) 11:57, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
