This seems to be a bug. I have posted a query on the template talk page. Dudley Miles (talk) 20:58, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ref no 30: is a Wikipedia article and when you click the ref it goes to the editing interface

Fixed. Dudley Miles (talk) 20:58, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Is ref 40 a reliable source?

Yes. The British Geological Survey is an official body. Dudley Miles (talk) 20:58, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ref 40 author name reads "Stone, P.; et al"

This is OK. I have used the "display-authors=etal" option. Dudley Miles (talk) 20:58, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

add more of a specific short description rather than "Wikipedia list article"

Done. Dudley Miles (talk) 20:58, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Consider archiving sources.

I have run the archiving script and most sources are archived, but it does not work for all sources. Dudley Miles (talk) 20:58, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That's it from me. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 19:10, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your review CAPTAIN MEDUSA. Dudley Miles (talk) 20:58, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I would appreciate your thoughts on Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Ayushmann Khurrana performances/archive1. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 21:02, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

;Comments on A-G

"This unimproved meadow is species rich" - hyphen in species-rich?
"Most of this site is broad leaved" - hyphen again?
"These meadows have unimproved traditionally managed grassland" - hyphen again?
"This poorly drained wood" - hyphen in poorly-drained?
Got to pop offline now, will look at the rest later..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:32, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks ChrisTheDude. I have changed the first two but I am doubtful about the second two. They seem to me two separate words rather than a double barrelled expression, and googling them gives examples without hyphens. Dudley Miles (talk)

Fair enough -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:08, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

More comments

"less than 1-metre (3-foot) deep" - in this case there shouldn't be hyphens (and it should be "3 feet deep" not "3 foot deep")
"one of the 284 'Rochschild Reserves" - is that spelt correctly?
Notes c to e are complete sentences so need full stops
That's it from me - great work overall! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:14, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

All fixed. Thanks again ChrisTheDude. Dudley Miles (talk) 18:42, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thoughts

Ratcliffe 1977 is throwing off Harv errors

This is due to a technical change. See Help_talk:Citation_Style_1/Archive 69#Cite book Harv warning. Dudley Miles (talk) 20:25, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry about this --Guerillero | Parlez Moi 00:01, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Inkpen Common, Inkpen Crocus Field, Seven Barrows et al needs a piped link for BBOWT per WP:ASTONISH

If I understand correctly, you are suggesting a pipe instead of a redirect. This is not recommended. See Wikipedia:Piped link#When not to use. Dudley Miles (talk) 20:46, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- You are inconsistent either way --Guerillero | Parlez Moi 00:01, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I see that I have sometimes piped Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust|BBOWT and I have corrected. Is it OK now? Dudley Miles (talk) 09:27, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Since you are using the citations as well, a citation, do you also need to link to it directly in the table?

Sorry I do not understand this point. Can you explain further please. Dudley Miles (talk) 20:53, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't remember, withdrawn --Guerillero | Parlez Moi 00:01, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Encyclopædia Britanica is a tertiary source. Can you find a secondary source?
CountiesInEngland.com does not look like an RS to me
Same with visitsoutheastengland.com

These are fair comments, but the problem is that I cannot find secondary RSs which bother to state such basic facts. Do you think that I should delete them? Dudley Miles (talk) 20:53, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Dudley Miles: Leave EB and remove the others. The placement of Berkshire seems like a BLUESKY thing --Guerillero | Parlez Moi 00:01, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Dudley Miles (talk) 09:27, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Guerillero Dudley left you some queries last month, could you respond? Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 09:02, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
