GA review[edit]

This is virtually a quick-fail based on the lack of sources, but just doing that wouldn't be beneficial to the article so I'm going to "slow-fail" it with some (hopefully helpful) comments:

So, most obviously, citations as per WP:CITE are required throughout the article to provide verifiability of the claims made.
Adopt en-dash per WP:DASH for year ranges, so 1935–36 instead of 1935-36.
1460's vs 1580s - apostrophe or not? I'd ditch it, but be consistent.
Copyedit to remove things like "JamesII".
The Castle Today section needs to be written in a couple of merged, larger paragraphs, not a series of single-sentence paragraphs.

If I can help with anything more specific then let me know, but don't be discouraged, just try to get some reliable secondary sources to cite the claims. All the best. The Rambling Man 16:57, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Spirit Voice Link[edit]

Ghost Investigation of Dean Castle has been removed from the page a number of times. Considering it ties into part of the article of spirit investigation, I would maintain it's right of place in the article. While I may personally not accept the findings of "ghost hunters" there is place (unlike what was suggested) for it in Wikipedia.

I would therefore recommend it is restated into the article, however if there is further reasons to why it may not be suitable, I would welcome the debate. Franko2nd (talk) 22:12, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
