GA Review

Reviewer: Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:20, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
OK, let's go. Inevitably there are some quibbles.
- Image check - images appropriate with no copyright issues, good alt text present
- Ref check You do not need retrieval dates for on-line versions of "real" books or journals, such as the hydrographic register or the EA publications since the content will not change. Ref 18 to an online tertiary source is not RS; however, the site helpfully gives the original refe which you should use instead
- OK all fixed. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:13, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
- Technical check Bristolian is a Dab page. All links OK
- The Dab page does have the text: A native of Bristol, would you prefer I unliked this? Jezhotwells (talk) 20:13, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
- Why is floating harbour capitalised - it's lower case in the linked article?
- That is how it is referred to by the City Council and others in Bristol as per [1]. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:13, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
- In "Course", is it possible to have some variation on "joined"?
- I don't like the very short sections which don't appear to fit any obvious plan. I'd merge Etymology with History, and both Navigation and Tributaries with Course
- Fixed. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:13, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
- ... the river drops nearly 50 ft, and as a result there were a number of corn and other mills. needs metric units, and clarification of the link between the drop and mills being present
- Today a wheel at Snuff Mills survives, and the mill buildings of Cleeve Mill survive as a private residence two "survives"
- Fixed. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:13, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
- is a 29 kilometre public path needs Imperial. Since this section is so short, why not list the local authorities, wildlife organisations etc?
- Fixed. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:13, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
- Tributaries -pointless duplication of Course
- Removed. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:13, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
- I made these changes. Please check
- I have no quibbles with those. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:13, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
- OK, done for now, I'll have another read later Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:49, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
- I think I have addressed your concerns as per above. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:13, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
- For Bristolian, I'd be inclined to link to the city, since the alternative would be a one sentence stub Bristolian (person). I've no other concerns, so here we go

Natural History
editA large number of people witnessed an otter in the Frome in December 2020 - but I have no references to prove this. I have poor quality video and photos though. Perhaps https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jezhotwells would like to comment on whether the presence of an otter should be added to this section.
