 * The text seems a bit confusing to me. When it says "Afghanistan and Barbary Partridges" I would assume that both those entities are are countries to which soldiers are deployed. The phrasing could be changed to reduce confusion. Also, this hook (the fact that they share the island) is not directly mentioned in the article. By virtue of it not being mentioned, it's not sourced either. CaseyPenk (talk) 17:33, 3 July 2013 (UTC)


 * The fact that they share Windmill Hill is a combination of two sourced facts: that the army has used it to train for deployments to Afghanistan (source 8 under "Military usage") and that Barbary Partridges nest there (source 16 under "Wildlife and caves"). They co-exist in the same place. I agree that the hook could be a bit clearer though, so I'd suggest the following alternative. Prioryman (talk) 19:58, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
 * ALT1 ... that Windmill Hill, Gibraltar (pictured) is used by Barbary Partridges to raise their chicks and by British Army units to train for deployment to Afghanistan?


 * Symbol confirmed.svg ALT1 looks good to me. It reduces ambiguity and removes the unsourced notion of "sharing." The article is long enough, was new at the time of nomination, and the two components of the hook are each cited (see above). The hook is also interesting.

 * Symbol question.svg Not good to go, of course, because once again neither reviewer has addressed the COI or promotional requirement, which one of them must do (or a third reviewer can address the issue, of course). BlueMoonset (talk) 13:16, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

- I have read through this well written article and detect no promotion or COI; I have verified the hook is supported by refs #8 and #16 (I did duplicate ref 16 so it is immediately adjacent to the sentence it supports in the hook). As it has already been reviewed twice, I am AGF the other criteria has been checked. SagaciousPhil  -  Chat  07:57, 5 July 2013 (UTC)


 * I have struck the original hook and copied the approved ALT1 to the top to try to make it easier for whoever promotes the nom.  SagaciousPhil   -  Chat  18:14, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
