• @Cwmhiraeth: "Lands" is plural and the article sometimes says "the state game lands...". It'd be awkward to say "the state game lands is", so I've decided to go with "are". I've modified both the hook and the article accordingly. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 13:19, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

• OK, fair enough. The hooks are both cited inline and either could be used. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:28, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
