I am working my way through the Good articles listed at Places; having a quick look to see if they still meet the Good article criteria. I have landed on this article. After I've had a quick look, I'll leave a note here indicating if I have concerns or not.
In general, I see the process as this: 1) Give the article a quick look to see if there are obvious issues: maintenance tags, unsourced sections, excessive media, etc, resolving any minor issues as I do so; 2) If I have concerns, open a GAR to see how serious those concerns are, resolving them myself if they are not serious; 3) If during the GAR I feel that there is significant work to be done (more than I can or am willing to do myself), I will put the GAR on hold and notify the main contributors.
My aim and intention is to keep the article listed - I would rather the article was improved and kept listed than the article is delisted. Where a delisting seems likely due to the amount or nature of work needed being greater than I am able to do alone, and the main contributors are unavailable or unable for whatever reason to do the work, then appropriate WikiProjects will be notified at least seven days before a delisting would take place.

I noticed that the article gave the pronunciation as "/fruːm/" in IPA and "frohm" in the pronunciation respelling. However, "/fruːm/" would be written as "froom" in the respelling key. I don't happen to known whether "/fruːm/" or "/froʊm/" is correct, but the two pronunciation guides didn't match up prior to my edit. Anywikiuser ( talk) 11:28, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

A claim has been added to the article that "Frome has 370 listed buildings, the greatest number in one location within Somerset" using British Listed Buildings as a source. I would prefer to see the National Heritage List for England from Historic England used as a source (updated more often & British Listed Buildings just copies the official site). I feel the use of "one site" is also unclear. I believe that Bath has considerably more listed buildings than Frome & wp has long used ceremonial counties (which include unitary authorities) rather than short term designations, and gets over the use of Avon (which Historic England etc still use) which was abolished in 1996. Listed buildings in England, Grade I listed buildings in Somerset, Grade II* listed buildings in Somerset may help in considering this.— Rod talk 20:39, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
More eyes needed please to review this edit which has been re-added several times by a new editor and a presumably associated IP. It is completely unsourced, contentious (in its derogatory use of "faux original") and introduces a spelling error. I'm not going to get into an edit war, but this needs to be removed.
