Nominator(s): Dudley Miles (talk) 22:57, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is the latest in my nominations of wildlife trusts. It follows the format of FLs such as Essex Wildlife Trust and the Suffolk Wildlife Trust, and I believe that it also meets the criteria. Dudley Miles (talk) 22:57, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

;Comments from BeatlesLedTV
  • In lead, write out numbers below nine per MOS:NUM (& nineteen as well for consistency)
  • This is complicated. My understanding is that consistency overrides letters for numbers below ten, and if there are both numbers above and below I can use numbers or letters throughout. However, a sentence should not start with a figure, and as I have a sentence starting with 19, I have changed them all to letters as you suggest.

  • Remove the period after ref 53
  • Merry's Meadows has "There are several ponds." I would change it to "The meadow also has several ponds" so it doesn't sound as blunt.
  • Changed to "There are four ponds with common and great crested newts." OK?

That's all I got. Great job as always! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 01:33, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • "it has over 16,000 members," I thought I mentioned this a few reviews back, but if not, apologies. Need to describe what "members" means here. I.e. people that can visit for free? People who make voluntary contributions for nothing back?
  • Added note. (I am not convinced it is needed but it is additional information.) Dudley Miles (talk) 22:13, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • "nd to inspire people to assist in this work." sounds like a quote, certainly not encyclopedic in tone.
  • You linked Leicestershire in the first para, no need to do it again in the second.
  • Link "county town".
  • Don't overlink the 2011 census.
  • Ref 23 (for example), keep all ref date formats the same.
  • Done. (I see I missed several on my previous check.) Dudley Miles (talk) 22:13, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

*"across the UK." Spell out United Kingdom on first usage
  • "500 volunteeers." Typo
  • "and is managed by an elected Council of Trustees." Elected by whom?
  • For public access, do we really need "YES" to be in all-caps?
  • No, but it has been done that way in other wildlife trust lists, and I prefer to keep to a consistent format. Dudley Miles (talk) 18:30, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Otherwise, looks good. Courcelles (talk) 17:55, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
