[edit]
  • Should specify that it's Catherine of Alexandria in the text, not just the WL, as there are Lots of St Catherines
    Done.--Ykraps (talk) 17:10, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • probably means 'Great Hill' in what language?
    Old English. Added.--Ykraps (talk) 17:10, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • "indicates a 'hill'" reads strangely; should either be rephrased as "means 'hill'" or the single quotes around 'hill' should be dropped
    Removed in copy edit (see below).--Ykraps (talk) 17:10, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Split first sentence of second paragraph after the second parentheses and then begin next sentence with "The latter was located north ..."
    Removed in copy edit (see below).--Ykraps (talk) 17:10, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • From Harbour to Harbour should be italicized as the name of a book
    Removed in copy edit (see below).--Ykraps (talk) 17:10, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Obviously Bell clearly believes this, so where is the source to indicate that it is an erroneous belief?
    Hodges discusses the debate but makes no judgement as to whether Richedon and Rishton are the same. He does point to a farm north of the hill called Rishton which he says may be a source of confusion. I have rewritten the sentence.
  • Link River Stour, Dorset and Moors River

General comments

  • Images all look good
  • No stability concerns in the revision history
  • Earwig score looks good

Broadly, the prose gives me pause, as there are many MOS:WTW about time (MOS:REALTIME) and the conference of authority (MOS:WEASEL). Most of the latter are caused by passive voice throughout this article. It's going to take some serious work to get into shape. Putting on hold for now. Feel free to ping me with questions, and please let me know when you're finished. — GhostRiver 20:54, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@GhostRiver: Do you have further comments?--Ykraps (talk) 07:45, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@GhostRiver: Are you intending to return to this review? --Ykraps (talk) 18:08, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I will look at this again tomorrow. I have been dealing with some of the uglier symptoms of my bipolar disorder. — GhostRiver 04:36, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I got pinged to have a look at it since the reviewer hasn't been active for a week. I've done a bit of a copyedit, but other than that I don't think there's any reason it can't pass a GA review now, except to note I have not checked many of the references to ensure the claims in the article are factually accurate.

No more serious concerns. Passing now. — GhostRiver 18:28, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
