Suffolk Wildlife Trust

 * Nominator(s): Dudley Miles (talk) 14:03, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

This is the latest in my nominations of wildlife trusts. It follows the format of FLs Essex Wildlife Trust and the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire, and I believe that it also meets the criteria. Dudley Miles (talk) 14:03, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

Using your other lists for reference, I think you have a featured list right here! The only thing I see is remove the space between the period and ref 73. Honestly other than that I have nothing. Fantastic job!

 * Comments from Harrias  talk
 * "and it manages 3,120-hectare (7,700-acre) of land" – Should be "hectares" and "acres" surely?
 * Done. Dudley Miles (talk) 17:48, 30 November 2017 (UTC)


 * When you list the councils, Ipswich should pipe to Ipswich Borough Council.
 * Done. Dudley Miles (talk) 17:48, 30 November 2017 (UTC)


 * "1 contains a Scheduled Monuments" – Should not be plural.
 * Done. Dudley Miles (talk) 17:48, 30 November 2017 (UTC)


 * It might be worth splitting that list in the last paragraph up. It is particularly confusing when commas stop denoting another item in the list, and instead explain an item (1 is in the Dedham Vale, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)).
 * Done. (Also changed numbers from figures to text to avoid having "1" at the beginning of a sentence.) Dudley Miles (talk) 17:48, 30 November 2017 (UTC)


 * On my screen there is whitespace above the key because of the way the column formatting clashes with the image and the kml template.
 * I am not sure how to deal with this as it is not a problem on my screen. Can you advise? Dudley Miles (talk) 17:48, 30 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Is "N/Av" meant to signify "not available"?
 * Yes. Spelled out. Dudley Miles (talk) 17:48, 30 November 2017 (UTC)


 * "This three mile long stretch.." – Needs a convert template.
 * Done. Dudley Miles (talk) 17:48, 30 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Is there a link we can use for "fen meadow"?
 * Done. Dudley Miles (talk) 17:48, 30 November 2017 (UTC)


 * "..and rides have many species of butterfly." – What are rides?
 * Rides are avenues for horse riders. Linked to bridal path.


 * "The site has fen, freshwater dykes and grazing marshes." – Could do with some wikilinks.
 * Done. Dudley Miles (talk) 17:48, 30 November 2017 (UTC)


 * "..calcareous clay and neutral grassland." – Again, could do with links to explain what they are.
 * Linked calcareous. "Neutral grassland" is a bit of a problem. I think it is a term used by Natural England for land which is neutral between acid and alkaline, but there does not seem to be a good explanation on Wikipedia. It is also called mesotrophic grassland, so I have linked to mesotrophic.


 * What are "oak pollards"?
 * Pollarding is the removal of upper branches. I have linked to it.


 * Ref #3 and ref #15 use YYYY-MM-DD format for archiving rather than the DD Month YYYY used elsewhere.
 * Done. Dudley Miles (talk) 17:48, 30 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Refs #10, #59, #98, #114, #129 and #138 need full-stops at the end.
 * Done. Dudley Miles (talk) 17:48, 30 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Refs #98 and #129 need to be formatted similarly to #10 and #59.
 * Done. Dudley Miles (talk) 17:48, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

Harrias talk 15:38, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Many thanks for your thorough review. Dudley Miles (talk) 17:48, 30 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Support my concerns addressed. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:27, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

Most of the things I might have spotted seem to have already been identified and addressed.
 * Comments from Rodw
 * In the lead would it be useful to readers to mention it is in East Anglia?
 * Done. Dudley Miles (talk) 14:47, 3 December 2017 (UTC)


 * I'm sure we have discussed the capitalisation of Scheduled Monument v Scheduled monument before but I can't remember your rationale.
 * Wikipedia is random whether to capitalise - Special Area of Conservation and Site of Special Scientific Interest but Scheduled monument and Local nature reserve. I think it is better to be consistent, and I prefer to capitalise as it signals to the reader that it is an official designation, not just a noun phrase. Dudley Miles (talk)


 * I'm not sure of the grammar/punctuation of "...and three are Local Nature Reserves. One is in Dedham Vale,..." I think you mean Dedham Vale is one of the 3 LNRs but that full stop makes it unclear.
 * I meant one SWT reserve is in Dedham Vale. Clarified. Dudley Miles (talk) 14:47, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
 * You have Alde Mudflats listed as no public access - I thought any inter-tidal areas in the UK were accessible (owned by the queen or something)?
 * I have never heard that. SWT says that there is no public access and a web search shows other inter-tidal sites which have no public access. SWT suggests looking with binoculars from a footpath, which may mean a high wall or steep cliff with no way down. Dudley Miles (talk) 14:47, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
 * OK thanks for checking. Perhaps ownership of anything between high and low tide can not be "owned" and therefore closed to the public, but I suppose it doesn't mean you can actually get to it.&mdash; Rod talk 15:10, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

No other issues I can spot at present.&mdash; Rod talk 09:56, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review. Dudley Miles (talk) 14:47, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I can now Support this list as meeting the criteria.&mdash; Rod talk 15:10, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
