Other types & styles

Should we specify the other types and style’s including growing hyper local types.ChefBear01 (talk) 15:44, 16 July 2026 (UTC)

To clarify I mean having two sections in the types part of the table one for the main types and then another for the other/hyper-local types.ChefBear01 (talk) 19:20, 16 July 2026 (UTC)

Merge in proposal to meet B Class

@Bearcat:, I am wondering whether the English whisky distilleries, brands & independent bottlers articles should be merged to create a single cohesive article and whether this could help towards moving the article towards a b-class.

my concern is whether this would create an overly burdened article (too long and therefore difficult for a reader to follow) that would end up getting split again meaning that this would not be right the path to follow.

I would appreciate any advice from yourself or any other users.ChefBear01 (talk) 19:46, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

To clarify overly burdened I mean WP:LENGTH.ChefBear01 (talk) 20:00, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

@Rodw: please could you provide some advice for the above. I also need someone to skim over the article to check tone and article structure please. I would really appreciate your help.ChefBear01 (talk) ChefBear01 (talk) 19:55, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

I need to check it meets WP:MOS, WP:EMBEDDED and WP:TONE ChefBear01 (talk) 20:08, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

@Kepler-1229b: do you have any advice to me the above policies. Is the tone and structure improved and closer to will policy.ChefBear01 (talk) 19:43, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

@ChefBear01 Section headings could be improved and from a basic skim the article could do with some copyediting. I've already done a few basic fixes to the article. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 19:56, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

@Kepler-1229b:, is there any way to bring the characteristics section into prose with creating issues with structure? (Short paragraphs).ChefBear01 (talk) 20:29, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

Sorry I meant attributes.ChefBear01 (talk) ChefBear01 (talk) 20:33, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

@ChefBear01 the table could be converted into paragraphs with sections corresponding to the headers in the table denoting each type. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 20:46, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

How does the section look now?.ChefBear01 (talk) 19:09, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

How can I improve the section headings?, Do they need to be shorten?, does the wording need to be fixed?ChefBear01 (talk) 19:13, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

@ChefBear01 Responding to your concern about the section; it looks good. The section names such as "Legal and guidance" and "Economic" could be improved for grammar or wording. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 20:17, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

Also if you don't know how to improve your prose, you can always ask the Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors for help in copyediting the article. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 20:18, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

Thank you.ChefBear01 (talk) 21:12, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

No problem. Fixes look good. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 21:28, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

Editors from the Guild I believe alongside yourself have done copy editing on the article which I hugely appreciate as it look much better and meets the wiki policies mentioned in peer review and generally. Should I look at putting the article forward for a B class nomination and then peer review to both set a point where editors can look to where the article meets B criteria and to provide help to see what is needed to meet GA?ChefBear01 (talk) ChefBear01 (talk) 15:59, 6 August 2026 (UTC)

I believe a peer review can serve as the basis for a promotion to B class if I am correct. You should open up a peer review to get feedback on improvements to the article. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 21:14, 6 August 2026 (UTC)

@Kepler-1229b:There currently have been no responses to open peer review is there any way to make editors aware of an active peer review on Wiki Projects or using other possible tools.ChefBear01 (talk) ChefBear01 (talk) 12:51, 16 August 2026 (UTC)

@ChefBear01 You could post messages on the relevant WikiProjects to notify them. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 13:48, 16 August 2026 (UTC)

Ok thank you.ChefBear01 (talk) 13:53, 16 August 2026 (UTC)

@Kepler-1229b: should I remove brand examples at the top of the article to avoid WP:SPAMBAIT?.ChefBear01 (talk) 12:26, 20 August 2026 (UTC)

@ChefBear01 Good idea; these can be listed further down on the body. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 20:02, 20 August 2026 (UTC)

Previous peer review

I've listed this article for peer review because I would like to get feedback on how to improve the article to reach B and then GA Class

Thanks, ChefBear01 (talk) 14:09, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

I don’t know why the link to select a topic leads to an archive page ChefBear01 (talk) 14:11, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

Are there any tasks I can do to assist in getting to the goals above.ChefBear01 (talk) 19:16, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

@Neils51:,@Bruce1ee: do you have any suggestions?.ChefBear01 (talk) ChefBear01 (talk) 22:15, 19 August 2026 (UTC)

The production stages section needs completing.ChefBear01 (talk) 22:23, 19 August 2026 (UTC)

Perhaps the list of distilleries would be improved by being in a table? Neils51 (talk) 23:27, 20 August 2026 (UTC)

I think that editors are trying to keep it in prose.ChefBear01 (talk) 16:07, 22 August 2026 (UTC)
