I'll be reviewing the article soon.--Jetstreamer Talk 01:40, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * The date format for the references is unclear. Please use a single one throughout the article.--Jetstreamer $Talk$ 23:47, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

Geography

 * The last sentence in the section's first paragraph is unsourced. I've marked it with a template.--Jetstreamer Talk 01:53, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * The section is backed by just two references, 1 and 2. It's hard for me to find some claims in the section included in these two references provided. For example:
 * 1) It is said nowhere in the two references that the reserve is located in North Devon, Southwest England. Should the reader click on any of these two links to find the location of these two places? Either the article assumes the reader knows (or should know) these places, or the content included in this very first sentence of the paragraph is built from the links in references 1 and 2. This last option borders original research. I suggest including at least a reference where the location is clearly visible. I'll try to do it on my own, though.
 * 2) ″There are no cities within the reserve, but the towns of Barnstaple, Bideford, Northam, Ilfracombe, and Okehampton contain the greatest proportion of the 155,000 people living in the area.″ The first two cities are mentioned in ref 2, the rest are not. This is not in agreement with WP:VERIFY.--Jetstreamer Talk 23:34, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
 * A reference that the comments above were drawn includes a large number of maps. If this reference is useful, I suggest to direct the reader to the specific page(s) of the document that better fits the topic of the article. My comments above regarding the presence of unsourced claims in the section still stand.--Jetstreamer $Talk$ 23:52, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks to Jetstreamer for all of the contributions in terms of fixes, and you will see I have tempered mention of settlements to readily accessible verifiable source table supporting a simpler statement. I have reworded or deleted some of the worst weasel which is unencyclopedic but agree there is quite a few items still to go, some of various reviewer's examples in GA1 blatantly amount to at best clunky administrative-ese, at worst plagiarism. -  Adam37   Talk  11:23, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Indeed. I will continue with this soon. The nominator is away until mid-August, so I'm just taking my time to review this article. I'm actually checking every piece of information, that's why this might take a little more time than expected. I'll try to fix as much as I can. Thank you for your contributions to it.--Jetstreamer $Talk$ 12:33, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
