St Margaret's Church, Aberlour

  • Symbol question.svg This well written article is new enough, long enough, and fully referenced. The hook is interesting, and a QPQ is done. A couple of issues: the article says Macpherson Grant died before the completion of the church, and William Grant paid for the rest, and it's also unclear whether the inheritance was the only source of her wealth. As such, we should add "partly" to the hook for accuracy. Also, the sentence "The chancel at the eastern end of building is slightly narrower and shorter than the nave" is very close to source and needs to be rephrased. -Zanhe (talk) 04:50, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
Template:Ping Thanks for reviewing. I've rephrased that sentence, thanks for spotting that. I've proposed an ALT1 above, using the word 'largely'. Certainly, Macpherson Grant, as the daughter of a modest country doctor, would have had a little bit of money before inheriting, but I think the sources are pretty clear that inheritance completely changed her life and allowed her to start engaging in philanthropy; I take your point however that someone else had to pay for the completion of the building after she died. I think 'largely' conveys a better sense of the significance of her contribution than 'partly', are you happy with that? GirthSummit (blether) 07:34, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
