Northhamptonshire should read Northamptonshire
[edit] Assessment
- The strengths of this article are its introduction, its section on Historical context and its list of links which work.
- Its main weakness lies in the fact that it doesn't give the reader a clear picture of what one might see in a building of this designation. What characteristics do Anglo-Saxon buildings have in common, apart from the typical decorations?
- The lists include the most/all the best-known buildings of the period. But when I followed the links to some of them, the info was a stub. The significance of Bradford on Avon as one of the most complete and unaltered examples, for example, is not indicated either here or there!
- The diagrams need to be integrated and given relevance with descriptive text. A photo of one of the best examples is needed at the top of the page, rather than that excellent picure of details which needs to be further down.
- The article needs referencing. It needs inline referencing for any statement that might be questioned, or any claim that is made, or quotation.
For example:- "Greensted church has a nave of logs and a brick chancel" doesn't require inline referencing if there is a bibliography.
but "Greensted Church is the oldest wooden church in Europe" demands citing an inline reference.
- There should be a bibliography of all books and websites consulted in the writing of the article.
