I'm grabbing this one for a review - how can I resist a BNA sourced article! Miyagawa (talk) 22:44, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"At the Conservative Assembly meeting at which Allsopp was formally nominated as the party's candidate, one of his nominators, Mr J. Standfast, decried the situation in Ireland, and called upon the people of Taunton to show that they "disapproved of the murders, and robberies, and outrages which were so common in Ireland, and were not prepared to hand over to the instigators of those crimes the government of that island."" - it's a bit of a mouthful as a single sentence. I would suggest splitting it in two, so that there is a full stop after "the situation in Ireland" and then start the new sentence off with "He called upon..."
Same goes for the following sentence - would be worth splitting into two with a full stop after "administration of Ireland"

Other than that, it's a solid article on a subject matter that would be difficult to research without facilities like the BNA - good job. Miyagawa (talk) 19:27, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Miyagawa: Thanks, done both of those. It would have been pretty impossible to have anything more than a very basic article without the BNA, it was an invaluable resource for this! Harrias ^talk 22:36, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Great - happy to promote. Miyagawa (talk) 23:56, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
