Comments
  • Flagicons in the infobox is a visual distraction and should be avoided, especially in articles primarily related to natural geography. (fixed)
  • The comment about the online competion takes up half the lead—this is WP:UNDUE. This is of course fully worth mentioning in the main section and a single sentence in the lead is fine.
  • The park's size should be mentioned in the lead, as should mention of the area being made up of secondary forest and bordering a state forest.
  • Are any of the lakes notable enough for an article? If so, they should be redlinked. The threshold for creating articles on lakes is not particularly high on Wikipedia, thus my question.
  • First paragraph of "flora" needs a reference.
  • Part of the first paragraph of the history section lacks a reference.
  • Some paragraphs are very short and I have taken the liberty of some merges where appropriate.
  • I have conducted a minor copy edit.

Impressively well-written article, although I have a few minor concerns as noted above. Placing on hold. Arsenikk (talk) 20:57, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article has been on review for two weeks, yet my main concern, the lack of referencing in certain areas, has not been seen to. I will therefore fail the article. Arsenikk (talk) 19:01, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
