Nominator(s): Dudley Miles (talk) 10:48, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is the latest in my nominations of wildlife trusts and is in the same format as FLs such as Suffolk and Kent. Dudley Miles (talk) 10:48, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • "The county is bounded Cambridgeshire" - word "by" seems to be missing
  • "These conditions have led to unusual plants communities" - "plants communities" doesn't sound right
  • "This is mixture of grassland and wet fen" - word "a" missing?
Think that's it from me! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:52, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
All fixed. Many thanks for the review ChrisTheDude. Dudley Miles (talk) 09:09, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Quick Question
  • Should the numbers below 10 in the lead be spelled out per MOS:NUMERAL?

Support – Because it's a quick question I'll give my support now. Great job to you! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 02:10, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Many thanks BeatlesLedTV. I am never sure how to deal with numbers but I have changed them all in the first paragraph to spelled out apart from the number of members. Dudley Miles (talk) 16:13, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • " forty-seven wildlife trusts covering" our article says there are 46, and it capitalises them to Wildlife Trusts in this context.
  • The Wildlife Trusts sometimes says 46, sometimes 47. When giving 47 it specifies 37 England, 6 Wales, 1 each for Scotand, NI, Isle of Man and Alderney. I have gone with 47 as more reliable, although it is possible that one has disappeared. I think wildlfife trusts should not be capitalised as in this context it is a nounphrase, whereas in The Wildlife Trusts article it is about a society.

  • Plus that's a pipe to a redirect.
  • "It has over 35,500 members" more than.
  • Is "reedswamp" common to everyone but me? Is there a suitable link?
  • " red eyed and" that should be hyphenated.
  • "as 9 feet 1 inch" provide a metric conversion.
  • "isosceles" doesn't have that middle s!
  • " 450 year old oak." I think this should be hyphenated.
  • "as "one of the best examples in Britain of a lowland mixed valley mire"." - I usually directly cite such quotes, immediately after the quote.
  • I do not think this is necessary when there is a single source cite for a short paragraph. Dudley Miles (talk) 21:44, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Page ranges need en-dash, e.g. ref 86 "Ratcliffe, pp. 213-14" -> "Ratcliffe, pp. 213–14"
  • Any reason why only a portion of the references have been archived?
  • I ran IABot but it did not archive all the refs. I think we have discussed this before and I raised a query about it. The bot designer explained that it should check whether an archive exists and create a new one if there is not one already, but there is a technical reason why it does not always work.

That's all I have. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:08, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
