Thank you for asking me to comment on this article which may be a candidate for GA. I am no expert but I make the following points towards possible improvement, which I hope are helpful.
Best of luck. Peter I. Vardy ( talk) 12:19, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi there, I have reviewed this article against the Wikipedia:good article criteria and although I am not quite prepared to pass the article for GA immediately, I don't think there is a long way to go. I have listed below the principle problems which prevent this article from achieving GA status. The article now has seven days to address these issues, and should the contributors disagree with my comments then please indicate below why you disagree and suggest a solution, compromise or explanation. Further time will be granted if a concerted effort is being made to address the problems, and as long as somebody is genuinely trying to deal with the issues raised then I will not fail the article. I am aware that my standards are quite high, but I feel that an article deserves as thorough a review as possible when applying for GA and that a tough review process here is an important stepping stone to future FAC attempts. Please do not take offence at anything I have said, nothing is meant personally and maliciously and if anyone feels aggrieved then please notify me at once and I will attempt to clarify the comments in question. Finally, should anyone disagree with my review or eventual decision then please take the article to WP:GAR to allow a wider selection of editors to comment on the issues discussed here. Well done on the work so far.
(These issues must be satisfactorily addressed, in the article itself or here, before GA promotion can go ahead)
Otherwise, I think this is a good article and once the above are addressed I'd be happy to pass it.

Hello, I have prepared a re-draft of the article here. I would like to get consensus before moving the draft over because it cites two publication I was involved in writing. It is more detailed than the current article, and brings it up-to-date (it ended after the 2008 excavations). It is largely reliant on the 2012 book, but that's because not a whole lot else has been written about Buckton and it is the most recent and detailed publication about the castle.

Hello if you've stumbled across this page. If you've got any questions about the article, go ahead and put them here. I'll be keeping an eye on the page so I can answer, but it might not be very prompt as Thursday's turned out to be rather busy. Richard Nevell ( talk) 21:21, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
"The county is mostly lowland, and Beeston is the only other castle in the area that rises as prominently above the surrounding landscape"
Bollocks.
What about Halton Castle?
Ok it sits within Runcorn now but once it stood prominently on the sandstone ridge above Halton and the River Mersey.
Wikipedia hates experts. It just wants cut and paste artists to plagiarise what has already been written. Proving once again the errors in these works are more important than real facts, real insightful knowledge. 81.153.37.76 ( talk) 08:57, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
