Add a short description.

Done. I have not done this before and I trust it is OK. Dudley Miles (talk) 18:41, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

All of the sources need to be archived.

As always, I have run the archiving tool but a few sources do not archive. Dudley Miles (talk) 18:41, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unused parameter from ref 7 can be removed (date=)

Done. Dudley Miles (talk) 18:41, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Dudley Miles (talk) 18:41, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The image in infobox needs more info in caption i.e. when it was taken, and where it is located.

Added date and wikilinked to the article which explains the location. Dudley Miles (talk) 18:41, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Once the comments have been fixed. I will be more than happy to support.___CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk (We are the champions, my friends) 16:08, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

"This site has ancient woodland and species rich unimproved grassland. The wood has standards of pedunculate oak and coppice" - in this context, what is a "standard"? And should "coppice" be plural?

I have added a note explaining. Is it clear? Dudley Miles (talk) 17:20, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"All three British species of woodpecker breed breed on the site" - duplicate word

Fixed. Dudley Miles (talk) 17:20, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Think that's it from me - great work as ever! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:14, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Source and images reviews

Both pass. Sources look reliable, spot checks check out. Images are available under free licenses and I added FoP UK to the first one. b uidhe 04:30, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Giants2008 (Talk) 17:42, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –

Eridge Rocks: Is there any reason that the last "and" in the note is italicized?

Fixed. Dudley Miles (talk) 10:49, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It wouldn't hurt to have a cite for note c, if it isn't covered by that entry's reference.

Cite added. Dudley Miles (talk) 10:49, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In ref 1, the publisher probably shouldn't be italicized since that isn't done for any of the other Sussex Wildlife Trust-published sources

Deleted chief executive. This was in the article before I started working on it but it is not usually shown. Dudley Miles (talk) 10:49, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The template used for ref 3 doesn't seem to allow for an access date to be added, so that's missing from this cite. I would just add it manually after the template to make that reference's formatting nice and clean. Giants2008 (Talk) 23:27, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Changed to standard format instead of using template. Dudley Miles (talk) 10:49, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your review Giants2008. Dudley Miles (talk) 10:49, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support – All of my comments have been addressed. Giants2008 (Talk) 17:42, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Dank:

My main go-bys for this are WP:Featured lists#Nature reserves and conservation areas and what I've seen in FAs. - Dank (push to talk) 17:13, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Key says "Other classifications", column says "Classifications" ... is there a distinction? Also: is there a shorter word available than "Classifications"? I did some experimenting with shorter words, and the last column becomes less crowded at magnifications of 120% or more.

Changed to Designations, which is slightly shorter. Dudley Miles (talk) 11:03, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Ramsar site, an internationally important wetland site": I've seen this language many times, and I want to respect consensus, but it seems to me that "internationally important" is in Wikipedia's voice here, when it should be attributed to the Ramsar listing, or maybe reworded, for instance as "a site listed by the intergovernmental Ramsar Convention". YMMV. If some Python Convention had added this site to their list of sites of breathtaking beauty, we wouldn't describe it as a "Python Convention site of breathtaking beauty", we'd just say that it's a Python Convention site.

I have added citations for all the designations. Dudley Miles (talk) 11:03, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"360 degree view": 360-degree view

Done. Dudley Miles (talk) 11:03, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"unusual silver-spotted skipper": Does "unusual" mean uncommon, or odd, or something else?

Changed to uncommon. Dudley Miles (talk) 11:03, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"It has a rich invertebrate fauna and breeding heathland birds include nightjars and stonechats.": comma after "fauna" to avoid the (tiny) garden path.

Done. (I am more and more inclined to add commas for clarity, even though I have been told that they are wrong before "and".) Dudley Miles (talk) 11:03, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"endangered with extinction": I get that you don't want people to misread that the fly is in some other kind of danger, but this sounds wrong to me. Try: endangered species of fly, a fly in danger of extinction, etc.

Changed to "under threat of extinction". Dudley Miles (talk) 11:03, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"high quality water": not sure what this means ... non-stagnant water? unpolluted water?

This is the wording in the source. It certainly means unpolluted, but it seems to also imply that the water has important nutrients, and as I am not sure I have not changed it. Dudley Miles (talk) 11:03, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"two which": two of which

Done. Dudley Miles (talk) 11:03, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"There is a variety of breeding woodland birds": "variety" sounds singular to some readers and plural to others, which means it winds up sounding wrong no matter what you do. I'd probably avoid the verb entirely.

Changed to "Breeding woodland birds include". Dudley Miles (talk) 11:03, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

FL criteria: it appears comprehensive and appropriately sourced, and meets the other comprehensiveness criteria, judging from similar lists. Also meets the navigation and stability criteria. - Dank (push to talk) 04:28, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for your thorough review Dank. Dudley Miles (talk) 11:03, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Looks great now. Thanks for this list, it's given me ideas for how I might do something similar for protected areas in North Carolina. - Dank (push to talk) 13:33, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support. (I may or may not claim Wikicup points; I've got a question in at WT:Wikicup.) - Dank (push to talk) 15:43, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
