The IP geolocates to "Wildlife & Countryside Link" in London. I suggest that these users may have a conflict of interest. Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 17:15, 7 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

It may be that the editors are closely linked to the organisation, but I can't see a COI: it's not a commercial organisation, and neither is it open to membership by members of the public, so there's little to be gained (either financially or in the furtherance of organisational aims) by promotion on Wiki. You might guess from my username that I work in the conservation sector, but I'm not involved in any way with W&CL. This is an organisation of national significance within our sector, and I visited this page to find out more information: I was pleased to see that an article existed, and I found it concise and well-written and feel it has a neutral POV. I'm pretty new to Wikipedia editing, but if anyone would like to highlight any specific concerns they have about POV issues I'm happy to work on them! As it stands, other than lack of independent references, I'm struggling to see a problem with this article. PondBob (talk) 10:31, 13 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
