From a first read through, seems a good article, good use of images, which are all appropriately licensed. However, there were a few minor points;


  • Ideally the lead should not contain material not listed elsewhere, nor have citations - could you move/copy the sentence regarding the toal area of the coalfield to another appropriate place within the article?
  • I have copied this to the start of the geology section.— Rod talk 19:44, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reference 7 is a dead link, as are references 8, 9, 58, 62, 67, 77, 78, and 81.
  • I think I've fixed all of these.— Rod talk 19:44, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reference 2 may cover all of the "Structure" sub-section, but this needs to be made clear, or an alternative source found.
  • Similar for the "Stratigraphy".
  • The first paragraph of the "Area Today" section has no reference.
  • The first paragraph of the "Paulton Basin" section has no reference.
  • The first paragraph of the "East of Camerton" section has no reference.
  • The first paragraph of the "Writhlington Collieries" section needs to have more references - as above, this may just be repeating the one at the end of the paragraph.
  • Refs reused & new ref added.— Rod talk 19:44, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks for the comments. It is amazing how quickly deadlinks creep in as I checked all of these a couple of months ago when I nominated it. I hope I've addressed the queries, but if there is anything else you think is needed please let me know.— Rod talk 19:44, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
