possible article improvement

@ Girth Summit: you asked for ideas to improve your articles. This one is a fine piece of work! The only thing that isn't quite right is the lead; it is supposed to summarise the article. You make reference to Gordon Castle without that being mentioned in the article itself. I suggest that the lead could be longer, the Gordon Castle info should be moved to the body, and a reference added for that part. I hope that's helpful. Schwede 66 21:32, 30 April 2019 (UTC) reply

Thanks Schwede66 - I appreciate the suggestions. I think Thoughtfortheday added the bit about the castle to the lead, so including them in this in case they're interested expanding on that in the body of the article; I'll also take a look at developing the lead generally and getting a bit more background in.

It is true that I had not checked the article history. I should not have said "you make reference"; it's rather that the article makes reference... Either way, it's a good article already. Schwede 66 22:12, 30 April 2019 (UTC) reply
I take your point about moving the mention of the castle out of the lede.-- Thoughtfortheday ( talk) 11:05, 1 May 2019 (UTC) reply
