MILHIST assessment
[edit]Nice piece of work - I had been compiling information on this for a short article but this is much better than I could have achieved. I think you could be a bit fuller on the battle. There is evidence that other bridges were broken in the area, for example, to impede the royal army[1]. Good picture of the bridge but maybe a description ?(it's covered in the VCH). Classed as C but with a little more on the battle, could easily be B.Monstrelet (talk) 09:53, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for taking a look at the article. I was hoping to find more detail for the actual battle section (as it is a bit sparse at the moment) but couldn't find anything in a reliable enough source. I will have another look and see if I can get a description of the bridge in there as well. Cheers - Dumelow (talk) 12:35, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
Roger d'Amory
[edit]Could the Roger d'Amory article be updated to include his posthumous execution mentioned in this article? It currently states (or at least implies) that he was captured alive. -M.Nelson (talk) 02:25, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

I'll be glad to take this review. In the next few days, I'll do a close readthrough, noting here any issues I can't immediately fix myself, and then follow with the criteria checklist. Thanks in advance for your work on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 21:24, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
Checklist
[edit]This article is excellently written and sourced; I see no significant problems on my first pass. Very fine work--thanks for all the effort you put into it.
I made some very minor copyedits as I went that I'd invite you to double-check. The most persistent issue I noticed is that "the king" and "the earl" were sometimes capitalized and sometimes not. It's my understanding that "king" should generally only be capitalized when preceding a name or in a specific legal term, and I've corrected accordingly, but feel free to revert me if I'm wrong. In either case, though, this usage should be made consistent in the article. -- Khazar2 (talk) 04:05, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
