Comments

• Might be worth mentioning at the start that Trinity is part of the University of Cambridge
• "In 1546, Trinity College was founded by Henry VIII, from merging the colleges of Michaelhouse and King's Hall" => "In 1546, Trinity College was founded by Henry VIII, merging the colleges of Michaelhouse and King's Hall"
• " then Warden of King's hall" - shouldn't hall have a capital H, like in the previous sentence?
• "The Façade of the building" - facade isn't a proper noun so it doesn't need a capital
• "Arthur Blomfield expanded the west wing of lodge" => "Arthur Blomfield expanded the west wing of the lodge"
• Great Court is linked twice in the lead
• (Aside) was the second master known informally as Bill Bill? ;-)
• "Vice-Chancellor (1548)" - probably worth making it explicit that he (and others who held this role) was VC of Cambridge, not of some other institution
• That's what I got. Great work! In fact it's inspired me to get out of my comfort zone of music and football and work on a similar article..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:38, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

  • Not done yet (UoC) What's the best way to word it? Perhaps consecutive links maybe? I think adding something like "The Master of Trinity College oversees the general operation of the college within the University of Cambridge" would be slightly twisting the meaning, because the colleges are independent, really.
  • Done (Merging the colleges)
  • Done (King's Hall)
  • Done (façade)
  • Done (the lodge)
  • Done (Great Court)
  • Not done (Bill Bill)—I couldn't find a source for this; do you have one?
  • Comment (Vice-Chancellor) Previously I wrote "Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge" every time, but thought it was too verbose. Is it the best option still?

Drive-by comments

• John Redman, Robert Beaumont, and Thomas Comber are all disambiguation pages
• You are missing column and row scopes. See PresN's standard comment here for some advice
• A number of these names are unnecessarily preceded by a title, while others who do have titles that match what's included don't show them. Try to match the target page's name instead, minus disambiguators of course.

Done Thanks for spotting; it was a mistake made when switching from Wikilinks to Sortname templates.

Done At least, I think it's what it's supposed to be now

Done Names now match article titles.

Accessibility review (MOS:DTAB)

• Tables need captions, which allow screen reader software to jump straight to named tables without having to read out all of the text before it each time. Visual captions can be added by putting |+ caption_text as the first line of the table code; if that caption would duplicate a nearby section header, you can make it screen-reader-only by putting |+ {{sronly|caption_text}} instead.
• Tables need row scopes on the "primary" column for each row, which in combination with column scopes lets screen reader software accurately determine and read out the headers for each cell of a data table. Row scopes can be added by adding !scope=row to each primary cell, e.g. |{{Sortname|John|Redman|dab=Trinity College}} becomes !scope=row |{{Sortname|John|Redman|dab=Trinity College}}. If the cell spans multiple rows with a rowspan, then use !scope=rowgroup instead.
• Please see MOS:DTAB for example table code if this isn't clear. I don't return to these reviews until the nomination is ready to close, so ping me if you have any questions. --PresN 20:35, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
