Pleased to be working with you, Ritchie333. This looks good on my intial check and I found the subject interesting as I never heard of him and know very little about lesser nobles. I intend to have this review done by the end of the week with comments about anything that needs addressed so you can fix, if applicable. Chris Troutman (

Is it well written?
A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
I magically was able to make a quick glimpse of the ONDB and I didn't see the "wastrel" line although I did see it in one of the other sources. The title fits, regardless, so I feel safe with it. I don't have access to the stuff from The Times so I'll AGF on those. Chris Troutman (

You can walk into any British library nowadays and (provided you have suitable ID) get a card that will allow you access to the Gale Group archives, including complete back issues of The Times. Of course, if British libraries are on a different continent, that's a bit more difficult.....

The Independent says the subject was also "Baron Hervey of Ickworth... and Hereditary High Steward of the
Liberty of St Edmund" These titles aren't mentioned; I would think they were relevant somehow. The Guardian says he learned he contracted AIDS in 1986, not HIV. It think your interpretation is correct as I don't think there was much in the way of treatment for full-blown AIDS back then. The Easy Anglian Daily Times (page 27) bears this out. I don't think there's a good way to change it; I'm just noting it. This article passes GA criteria as I see it. This was a fun read and you've done a good job with the article. Chris Troutman (

Thanks Chris. Basically I've now got hold of one of the two book sources mentioned in "further reading" and I'll get the other one at some point, so we can move forward and go for the
big brown star. There's a small bit of incidental detail (his mum was a constant in his life, but after 1959 the details are sketchy, and what exactly was his relationship with the young
Rupert Everett?) that none of the main sources use and hence isn't in the article yet, and I think the other titles you mention here will be listed there. If they aren't on the main
Marquess of Bristol, they definitely should as that's the main place for them. Certainly most sources just refer to "Earl Jermyn" or "Lord Bristol", and his titles get glossed over a bit. I did double-check the "wastrel" quotation and the shotgun incidents. Anyway, thanks for the review.
