    •  Done
  • "Georgian models rather than domestic models" so Georgian models are foreign? Unclear to an uninformed reader
  • "Due to the narrow street grid" unclear to an unformed reader why that would make most of the ornamentation on the base
    •  Added
  • "The base also incorporates two cornerstones from the previous buildings on the site, both dating from 1797" wouldn't this fit better in the previous paragraph?
    •  Done

Source Spotcheck
  • overall sourcing is very good.
  • 48b source says "more than fifty percent"
  • Check source #66, that URL times out for me, and accessing it via ProQuest, I don't see mention of 'October'
  • Epicgenius: just two things about sourcing. Eddie891 Talk Work 12:02, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    This article is well written, comprehensive, well referenced, well illustrated (though it's a shame there's no full image) and otherwise meets the GA criteria. For 48a and I just meant that the article says more than 50% and the article says just 50% but looking back at it, 50% is included in more than 50% so it's fine as is. I'm happy to pass this article now. Well done and congrats! Eddie891 Talk Work 14:05, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
