Current status: Good article |
Move this to history of Somerset. -- Robert Merkel 05:43, 12 May 2004 (UTC)
Please review WP:WIAGA. In its current version, this article does not meet criterion 1. A lead section needs to be written, and the embedded chronology should be prosefied, per the guidelines. - Fsotrain 09 15:27, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of November 11, 2006, compares against the six good article criteria:
When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration. Thanks for your work so far. -- Druworos 15:24, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
The WP:MOS recommends that the BC-CE and BC-AD styles for stating dates ought not to be mixed in the same article, as they are in the Prehistory section. But that section further claims that man was present in the future Somerset from c. 500000 BCE. Is that right? Over half a million years ago? -- Malleus Fatuorum ( talk) 19:10, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Here is the current revision of the page. Below is my assessment.
Considering this, I am willing to

I'm sorry to have to raise similar objections to those I raised at the end of the recent Exmoor GAN, but once again I think that this article has been promoted prematurely, and that there are still some significant issues with it. I'll give one example: "There is evidence from artefacts in a quarry at Westbury that man was present in the future Somerset from c. 500000 BCE". Half a million years ago? That's a pretty bold claim, and one that I don't see supported by the citation given. I'm wondering if this time it wouldn't just be better to take this article to WP:GAR, to get it looked at properly? -- Malleus Fatuorum ( talk) 17:59, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
What is the source for the statement that this has been dated by archaeology? Eastern Wandsdyke has been dated but this is irrelevant. Adresia ( talk) 18:57, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
What is the evidence for this? There are many references to Somersetshire in the Saxon period. It was probably defined in the 8th century. However, I accept that the term "county" was introduced by the Normans. As it is the sentence is misleading. Adresia ( talk) 17:18, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
