Model article
We could get ideas from Dilek Peninsula-Büyük Menderes Delta National Park, which is a good article.Chidgk1 (talk) 16:45, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Was the coast previously expanding?
Text used to say

Although the coast had been expanding it is now retreating, mainly due to less sediment coming down the river due to dams built upstream.

but I changed it because I could not find quote in https://www.cevdetyilmaz.com.tr/wp-content/uploads/Bafra-Ovasinin-Beseri-ve-Iktisadi-Cografyasi.pdf If you are a native speaker please could you check Chidgk1 (talk) 08:36, 9 December 2023 (UTC)


 * found a cite and readded Chidgk1 (talk) 08:18, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Need source re camel history
Maybe https://www.dr.com.tr/Kitap/Karadenizin-Son-Konargocerleri-Samsun-Yorukleri/Arastirma-Tarih/Tarih/Turk-Tarihi/urunno=0001942280001 Chidgk1 (talk) 08:19, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Modern map?
Is the map linked from co-ords enough? Probably better to have something in article as readers may not see co-ord link Chidgk1 (talk) 09:00, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Suggestions for improvement
Hi, here's some suggestions for improvement.


 * I'd recommend looking at Glacier National Park (Canada) or Dilek Peninsula-Büyük Menderes Delta National Park as examples.
 * Move History up to right after the lead.
 * Geography should probably only be a single section with no subsections.
 * Ecosystems and habitats should have at most 2 sections, Flora and Fauna.
 * Don't try to write exhaustive lists of all the things that live in the park. Look at Glacier National Park for an example - they list some key species, but not everything.
 * Tourism, Agriculture, and Management could probably be lumped into a single section.
 * Don't worry too much about the map, the one you currently have is fine.
 * The infobox lists 3 different websites, really it should only have 1 official site.

Really the big thing to focus on is writing flow. Flow can be hard to describe, but you want your text to be engaging to readers. Try to create more complex sentences, link closely related sentences together, or start a sentence, then in the dependent clause give the reason for why that's important or noteworthy. Here's an example of a change you could make.

The flow in my example goes from stating the area is important, to showing it's important by giving the number of species seen, to then backing that up with the mention of the research stations and how much banding they've done. Together, this builds the idea that the delta is important for birds.

Hopefully this helps. Good luck and happy writing! grungaloo (talk) 16:35, 11 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks those are useful ideas - I hope to return to this article in a couple of weeks time to come at it afresh Chidgk1 (talk) 17:24, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
