I'll start reading over the next few days and then begin to make comments. I am normally a slow reviewer - if that is likely to be a problem, please let me know as soon as possible. I tend to directly do copy-editing and minor improvements as I'm reading the article rather than list them here; if there is a lot of copy-editing to be done I may suggest getting a copy-editor (on the basis that a fresh set of eyes is helpful). Anything more significant than minor improvements I will raise here. I see the reviewer's role as collaborative and collegiate, so I welcome discussion regarding interpretation of the criteria.

General comments[edit]

Pass. This is an attractive and useful encyclopaedic guide to Westholme House in Sleaford. Clearly written, using a range of sources, and laid out neatly and helpfully following Wikipedia guidelines. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 09:14, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I am uncertain about inclusion of a link to the YouTube video. See WP:YOUTUBE. I tagged it when reading through, then forgot to check it. I've looked at it, and it is uncertain if the uploader had permission. The copyright status of the film is also unclear. If the film is not copyrighted and/or the uploader had permission to upload it to YouTube, then linking to it would be OK. It's up to you if you want to do the research into that. In the meantime I have removed the link from the article. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 18:27, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
