Checking against GA criteria

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   "The Glastonbury Canal ran for just over 14 miles (23 km)" - I think "just" sounds a bit informal for the opening sentence

   " In the 1750s, the town became a spa town" - link spa town

   "At the Highbridge end, the plans for a floating harbour to accommodate vessels of up to 250 long tons (250 t) were dropped" - tonnes (British English)

   " and a cavalcade from Highbridge to Glastonbury and back" - 'and back' sounds informal and vague here

   "They were declared bankrupt and Richard was removed from office as town clerk" - who's Richard?

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   References check out OK, reliable sources, no evidence of OR

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   Neutral

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

   Stable, no edit warring

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   No images used

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

I couldn't find anything worthy enough for this to be put on hold, so I'll pass it now. It's a well written article that meets the GA criteria, well done! JAGUAR  11:31, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. I have dealt with most of the queries above, except tons v tonnes as this is always difficult as it may be long ton as it depends on the source and time period.— Rod ^talk 11:40, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
