The High Level Bridge is not the toll bridge, it is the original bridge that remains so, as the statutory red tape would have probably been too much hassle! Njlawley ( talk) 20:37, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
Is Warburton actually threatened by a growing Manchester? I think this ought to be removed. Divy 10:33, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
This article failed to meet the requirements laid out in 3(a): 3. It is broad in its coverage. In this respect :
(a) it addresses all major aspects of the topic (this requirement is slightly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required by WP:FAC, and allows shorter articles and broad overviews of large topics to be listed).
While I realize that this is a small village, much more could be written about it. There should be information on Geography, climate, demographics of the population, transportation, and I believe a good deal more could be written on the history. Take a look at the FA on Waterfall Gully, South Australia. This is similar to your article in that it is about a village that is now part of a larger city. Also look at the GA articles on Chew Magna and Chew Stoke. These should give you a good idea of how this article should be expanded. Additionally pictures should be included, though are not a requirement for a GA. However, inline citations are now required.

Hello,
I believe this article is close to GA Status, but needs a little bit of work first.
The prose is excellent, and I'm very impressed to see an article of this size and quality on a village with under 300 people living in it. Excellent use of imagery, and the article appears to be stable. The article appears to be written from a Neutral Point of View.
The lead needs more references. The second paragraph of the lead contains no references, in particular, the statements "with confirmed settlement in the area in the 11th century, and the possibility of earlier habitation.", "There are 17 listed buildings in the village, including the timber framed Grade I Church of St Werburgh, which is at least 700 years old.", and "In 2006, Time Team excavated in the lands of Moss Brow Farm in Warburton, looking for a Roman fortlet." need citations.
I believe this should be relatively easy to complete and allow me to promote this article. Leave me a note on my talk page when you wish for this to be re-reviewed. Great work so far!

I understand that the modern trend is to abuse the apostrophe when the name of the possessor ends in an "s", but I have to say that " ... examples of architect John Douglas’ work ..." reads very awkardly to me.
What's wrong with " ... examples of architect John Douglas’s work ..."? It's how you'd be likely to say it, isn't it? -- Malleus Fatuarum 01:07, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for fixing up the issues raised. I'm now satisfied that the article is referenced properly, and as such, now meets all of the criteria. Congratulations, and thanks for all your hard work. I'm impressed to see this kind of quality of article on a village with under 300 residents. If you feel my review is in error, feel free to take it to a Good Article Review.
