If you mean Piccadilly Circus this sentence is correct. If you meant Oxford Circus, I believe the correct term is lattermost: Nearby tube stations are Charing Cross, Piccadilly Circus and Oxford Circus;[3] the latter...

It meant Oxford Circus. I've fixed this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anarchyte (talk • contribs)

~~Downmarket is an adjective or adverb, and I do not think it is used as either in this sentence: It was hoped the road could link Pall Mall and the Haymarket, which had declined and became downmarket.~~

I've tried to reword it, is it better now? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anarchyte (talk • contribs)

~~Should the be capitalized in this sentence? - The central section, known as the Quadrant,~~

No. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anarchyte (talk • contribs)

Keep commas and periods inside of quotation marks at the end of a quotation, unless that is a British thing. - The central section, known as the Quadrant, was designed for "shops appropriated to articles of fashion and taste",

Fixed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anarchyte (talk • contribs)

~~I believe Dr needs a . behind it here: during his search for Dr David Livingstone in Africa~~

Fixed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anarchyte (talk • contribs)

~~Is this sentence proper? - It was quickly found to be too small for purpose,~~

~~Are quotation marks necessary here? - dubbed as "Fashion and Design Month" (FDM)~~

Nope. Fixed Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 12:32, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What is administration, is that like bankruptcy? Can you link to something that would help people like me? - In 2016, Austin Reed filed for administration, ending over 100 years' presence on Regent Street.

Linked to administration (law). It's roughly the equivalent of Chapter 11 in the US, where you get somebody in to help pay off debts immediately Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 14:13, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Am I reading this wrong, or is this image tagged as if it were created in the U.S.? - File:Regent St proposal published 1813.jpg

Well it's hosted on Commons, and they tend to be pretty quick with deleting non-free stuff, plus I can't think of any country where the copyright lasts for over 200 years! Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 22:19, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to look into this a bit more. Kees08 (talk) 21:13, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As I sort of helped with the article (Ritchie was the main contributor though), I can help address any of the issues that come up, if it's fine w/ @Ritchie333:. Anarchyte (work | talk) 07:08, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, if I'm out an about with the kids, shopping etc. fire away. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 22:19, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think there are several better pictures for the All Souls Church, with this potentially being one of them: File:All_Souls_Church,_Langham_place_and_BBC_Broadcasting_House_seen_from_The_Heights..._(17145644036).jpg

~~Won't hold up GA at all, just a suggestion. There are many more quality photos on the commons. Kees08 (talk) 22:32, 4 February 2017 (UTC)~~ [reply]

~~This photo might be a nice addition to the history section: File:On the Move in Wartime London, 1942 D9320.jpg~~

~~Last, but not least, here are some F1 on Regent Street photos if you are interested: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Formula_One_Comes_to_Regent_Street~~

I've added the images in suitable locations, feel free to edit the captions. Anarchyte (work | talk) 01:59, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Kees08: I think everything bar that image copyright you wanted to look at has been addressed, anything else? Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 13:31, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Ritchie333 and Anarchyte: There are still quite a few periods outside of quotation marks. I usually do a ctrl+f for ". and work from there. Same with commas. Again, unless that's a British thing, I only really know American English. Kees08 (talk) 03:03, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed a few, are there any more? ctrlf for ". and ", bring no results. Anarchyte (work | talk) 09:46, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to me! Kees08 (talk) 18:05, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I think {{PD-art-life-70}} is the correct tag for those old images. Please feel free to double check, but the description seems to match the best. Note, I do believe 100% it is in the PD, just want to make sure it has the right PD tag. Kees08 (talk) 05:46, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, I think this is a Commons issue (as that's where the image is hosted). Jo-Jo Emuerus may know exactly which tag to place. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 11:19, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Once we get this second opinion on the tag, we can pass this. I am pretty sure that is something I am supposed to check for during the GA review process, but if I am mistaken just let me know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kees08 (talk • contribs)

@Kees08: As we still haven't had any other thoughts on this, should we ask at WT:GAN, put the review on "2nd opinion" status (and then ask), or pass anyway and save the discussion for a rainy day? I'm amenable to any of these three options. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 17:07, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Let's see if we get a response in the next couple of days, I am in no real hurry. Kees08 (talk) 03:36, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

To make this more clear, I went with option 1, it is on the GAN talk page. Kees08 (talk) 05:39, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I updated the tagging on Commons and replied to the WT:GAN thread. The criterion for GA is that free images be tagged with their copyright status, which is definitely done now even if the exact selection of template changes. --RL0919 (talk) 15:54, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
