I've gone through and expanded the article; it should all now be referenced with up-to-date sources etc. It will, however, probably benefit from a copyedit! Hchc2009 ( talk) 17:43, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

I don't know why but I've always loved the name of this place, and I haven't even visited it. Will aim to review by the weekend at least... Cheers, Ian Rose ( talk) 10:30, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

Prose -- copyediting as usual so pls check I haven't misunderstood anything; outstanding points/queries:
Up to 14th Century, more later... Cheers, Ian Rose ( talk) 04:11, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
Structure/comprehensiveness/referencing -- seem perfectly adequate to me as an admitted non-expert on fortification articles (although I know the basics about this one from my book on English castles, which memorably describes the keep as "a hulking brute").
Supporting materials -- infobox looks okay; I'd have thought that the following images needed a tag re. country of origin (Britain presumably) as well as the US:

I've changed the info box image for one that shows a greater expanse of the Castle, is in focus and in which greater detail can be viewed in this much larger and higher resolution image. The reason given for reversion was that the original shows greater detail - this is self-evidently not the case; and then on further revision that a higher resolution image is not necessary as the image is not viewed at higher resolution presumably as its represented as a thumbnail on the page. This seems contradictory. In other areas of Wiki higher resolution images are valued in keeping with the Wiki creative commons approach. I'd be happy with a couple of independent views. Thanks. WyrdLight ( talk) 20:57, 23 March 2017 (UTC) PS: you can actually see the 'forebuilding' in the updated image as noted in the image title.
Thanks Hchc2009 - have you compared the images side by side? In the original image the architectural detail softens and becomes indistinct when one attempts to look at the castle more closely. This doesn't support the article effectively. File:CastleRising-WyrdLight-Wiki.jpg File:Castle Rising Castle - geograph.org.uk - 660628.jpg Thanks & by the way my support of Wiki is arranged with Wiki editorial recommendation to deal with copyright permission issues. WyrdLight ( talk) 10:35, 24 March 2017 (UTC) By the way I've a high resolution image taken from the same perspective - not as an effective view point, but it also reminds me the current image was taken from the ground - so there are converging verticals. Standing on the earth works around the castle does mean its easy to take an image that doesn't have this 'defect'. WyrdLight ( talk) 10:43, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved as requested with the old, merged history relocated to Castle Rising castle. Dekimasu よ! 19:51, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
Castle Rising (castle) → Castle Rising Castle – WP:NATURAL, most of the other non-English Wikipedia articles have it at "Castle Rising Castle" (or the language equivalent) and a Google search shows a mixture of "Castle Rising" and "Castle Rising Castle", indicating the latter is a more complete name. A move request on Commons was unopposed. Even though the castle is the original meaning, it looks like it is called "Castle Rising Castle", so it should be OK having "Castle Rising" for the village.
