Storming of Farnham Castle

  • ... that during the Storming of Farnham Castle (castle pictured), the Royalist defence was so minimal that one contemporary claimed they "deserved not the name of a garrison"? Source: Godwin 1904, p. 39.

5x expanded by Harrias (talk). Self-nominated at 12:55, 14 February 2020 (UTC).

  • Increased more than fivefold and amply long enough for DYK, wording is fine and content is adequately cited, no copyvios found (Earwig is currently down, but selective copypasting to Google hasn't brought back any issues). Hook is moderately interesting and appears in the source cited; it's a little verbose but is still under 200 characters. QPQ has been done. I am inclined to give this a pass.

  • Whoops, forgot to do an image review - the selected image is CC-BY-SA compliant, is in the article, and looks okay as a wee thumbnail, so that gets a pass from me as well. Yunshui  08:50, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
