Can anyone get me more information on this castle? I ask as the user who added this page appears to be a vandal, and brief web search for "Cambridge Castle" tells me that, while there was a castle, the only part that remains is the motte, as the stone was carted away. -g026r

Article expanded[edit]

I've given the castle article a thorough update, but it will probably need a decent copy-edit. Took me back to when I had to write about the castle in my junior school! Hchc2009 (talk) 18:55, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewer: Johnfos (talk) 23:36, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nicely illustrated, thoroughly researched and well written. Broad in coverage with a substantial amount of historical detail also. Good referencing. Neutral and stable. Passed. Johnfos (talk) 23:54, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Citation style[edit]

Why change the citation style from using {{cite}}, which preserves the metadata, to the consistent but poor style? I think it's better to use the template, as the better "style" and to encourage future citations in this form rather than stick with a poorer form for the sake consistency.
