Wikipedia:Peer review/Civil parishes in Cornwall/archive1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I feel it is now complete and want to nominate it for a recognised status. A point I'd like clarified is what form of recognised content path this article should take; either the GA/FA path or the FL path? (This article was moved from List of civil parishes in Cornwall to Civil parishes in Cornwall after an upgrade and assessed as such). All comments welcomed.

Comment

  • Nice article.
  • "there were 501,267 people living in the, now, 218 parishes" is clunky. Plus, you've already mentioned the 218 figure. Recommend simplifying to "living in the parishes"
  • "100.0% of the" -> "100% of the" or better: "all of the" or "the whole of the"
  • "on 1 April 2009, to" no comma necessary.
  • "with Penzance having the largest population of 21,168" see WP:PLUSING and rephrase.
  • "the Isles of Scilly having their own unitary authority": Same.
  • "purely ecclesiastical divisions." -> "purely ecclesiastical" (redundancy)
  • Is "rate" understood as a tax? Is "rate" the appropriate British term? Excuse my ignorance.
  • Consider replacing semicolons with full stops in the fourth and last part of the fifth paragraphs of the History section. These only appear to be adding to the length of sentences without introducing useful meaning or juxtaposition.
  • The prose is mostly good, but I think it could use some reworking for clarity and conciseness. Sentences are occasionally overly long and convoluted. Better to get things across as efficiently and clearly as possible.
  • I'd consider moving this and making it a list of the parishes rather than an article. It seems to me that it's mainly a list of the parishes, with some prefatory (but good) information re: the legal status and history of parishes.--Batard0 (talk) 14:26, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks very much for your review! Some good spots and advice. I'll put this up for a Requested move, as I think you're right about the list side. Thanks again! Zangar (talk) 00:54, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
