I didn't edit out the gratuituous reference to Horace Donisthorpe by User:80.225.79.69, so as not to seem cruel.

It isn't gratuitous in this instance; Weybridge has little other distinctions of note, although I'll put in a few other non-Donisthorpe details if I can find any. (80.225.79.69)
I am not too sure what happened about the other details, but the article was distinctly "bitty" and needed tidying up! The history Xlink gave quite a good basis for much more detail. I am unfamiliar with Weybridge, and only got here because I saw there was no article about its rail station. There were some instances when xrefs were available and not used.

The Seven Dials column
"The original sundial column was removed during 1773. It was long believed that it had been pulled down by an angry mob, but recent research suggests it was deliberately removed by the Paving Commissioners in an attempt to rid the area of "undesirables". The remains were acquired by architect James Paine, who kept them at his house in Addlestone, Surrey, from where they were bought during 1820 by public subscription and re-erected in nearby Weybridge as a memorial to Princess Frederica Charlotte of Prussia, Duchess of York and Albany."
I've cleaned up this list checking what I could. Very little is verifible. Please reinstate anything you can verify. This was the list before.

There's a picture of 'Georgian Weybridge' houses displayed. These are not original but were carefully built in about 1995 on the site of the old York House Cafe (prop. Roy Garrett) and Stumps Wine Bar. --

Hi All!
I've been working on the Weybridge article over the past month or so and would like to nominate it for a
Good Article review in a few weeks' time. I'd be very grateful for feedback on how to improve the article further. In particular, I'd appreciate some input into refining the lead section and for any photos that might help illustrate the later sections.
Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks and best wishes

"The earliest evidence of human activity is from the Bronze Age and during the Anglo-Saxon and Medieval periods, Weybridge was held by Chertsey Abbey." - this sentence should be split here
"In the 18th century, the owners included Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany." - 'owners' (plural) but Prince Frederick is the only mention. Rephrase to Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany owned the mansion in the 18th century
"In 2021, the European headquarters of Sony and the UK headquarters of Procter & Gamble are at Brooklands" - reads better as As of 2021, unless they were both opened in 2021?
" Lieutenant George Patton was subsequently awarded the George Cross" - I assume this is
John Patton (GC), not the famous American general
George Patton?
I've read through the whole article and could only raise those minor issues. This article serves as a good example of how UK towns should be written; it is overall comprehensive and contains good prose. I'll leave this on hold until those minor nitpicks are out of the way. ♦
