Impressive work, I would be pleased to help. Sainsf &lt;^&gt; Feel at home 10:01, 24 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Lead:
 * a constituent part of the United Kingdom I am sure this refers to Wales and not to Western Europe. Could be clearer.
 * Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 *  It had a population in 2011 of 3,063,456 Would be better to write something like "As of 2011, the population is..."
 * Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 * with a total area of 20,779 km2 (8,023 sq mi) Repeated fact.
 * Removed. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Exploitation of the South Wales Coalfield... I wonder if "developing" and "expanding" would look better as "development" and "expansion".
 * Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I think "Atlantic Ocean" should be wikilinked.
 * Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Duplinks: There are one or more duplinks in each section. Please fix them and retain only if necessary.
 * Removed, I think. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Physical geography:
 * "Mountainous" may not need a link. If you wish to keep the link then please link it in the lead as well.
 * Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Say either "northwest" or "north west".
 * Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 * The meaning of "tussocky" may not be apparent. Better add a few words of explanation.
 * Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I think you can say "rivers Mawddach, Dovey, Rheidol, Ystwyth and Teifi" instead of "the River Mawddach, the River Dovey, the River Rheidol, the River Ystwyth and the River Teifi "; "the river" need not be repeated. Try this with a few more instances in this section.
 * Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Llyn Trawsfynydd 4.8 km2 (1.9 sq mi) I think you should say "at" 4.8 km2 here and in similar instances.
 * Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I think "glacial valley" should be wikilinked.
 * Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Geology:
 * Link or explain outcropping, turbidity and folding.
 * Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 * some 700mya Better write "some 7 Mya".
 * Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 *  Lower Palaeozoic Can you add how long ago it was? I think you should try to add the "myas" for at least some of the eras mentioned later on as well.
 * Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 * sedimentary and volcanic rocks, marine basin Links?
 * Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Link "Ordovician".
 * Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 * No source for the last para?
 * Added. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Climate:
 * I think "Atlantic Ocean" and "low pressure system" should be wikilinked.
 * Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Any conversion or linking possible for "knots"?
 * Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Land use:
 * The figures for area in the lead are in sq.km. and sq.mi., while here you use hectares and acres. I think it would be better to have some consistency here.
 * Changed the lead. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Natural resources:
 * in Roman Times When would that be?
 * Rephrased. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Link or explain "metalliferous".
 * Rephrased. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 * and at one time Snowdonia had a flourishing copper industry Any idea when exactly?
 * Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Do "oil" and "gas" need links?
 * Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Snowdonia and Brecon Beacons national parks These are linked in "Protected areas", but I guess they should be linked just here as this is the first mention.
 * Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Political geography:
 * Does "pub" need a link?
 * Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 * are known as principal areas Not sure if we need italics or quotes here.
 * Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Demography:
 * The population of Wales in 2014  This section gives a more recent estimate than the lead (2011).
 * Changed lead. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 * population and industrial areas Are the links really needed?
 * Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Protected areas:
 *  the spectacular coastal scenery "spectacular" may not look like NPOV.
 * I think this is OK. They wanted to preserve the landscape because it was spectacular. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Does "waterfall" need a link?
 * Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Images: Look good, I think the caption of the first image (the map) could better read "Physical map of Wales".
 * Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

That is all I have to say. I appreciate your efforts for this article, it is really beautiful. Good luck! Sainsf &lt;^&gt; Feel at home 11:00, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
