Ferndown Common
edit- ... that Ferndown Common in Dorset supports such rare heathland species as the Sand Lizard (Lacerta agilis) and Smooth Snake (Coronella austriaca)?

Created 24 March; everything is cited; only 1110 B, short nearly 400 B of prose. Curly Turkey (gobble) 10:02, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry, I somehow always manage to mis-read or forget the size requirements. Now, by my calculations, over 1500B of prose. MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 13:59, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
I make it 1337 characters, so still a couple of sentences short. Sionk (talk) 15:44, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
- Oh sorry, my mistake again, the page size tool calculated it at over 1500B. Added further information, and the tool now gives 1681 B (274 words) "readable prose size", so even give or take a small amount this should be sufficient. MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 16:28, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
Okay, the tool's telling me 1709 B now. Curly Turkey (gobble) 20:46, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
The reviewer has checked newness, size, and that it has inline citation, but what about the hook? Is it interesting? Is it supported by an inline citation to a reliable source? Mentoz86 (talk) 17:25, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
- It is supported by inline cites (in fact, two). Is it interesting? I suppose it's not one of those "clever" hooks, but I suppose it's interesting to those who are interested in rare wildlife. Curly Turkey (gobble) 21:49, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
