Untitled

Took the following quote from the Wicklow National Park website and inserted it into the article, Ref: [1]:

“

The Cloghoge River flows out of Lough Tay and into Lough Dan. The Inchavore River flows in another glacial valley from the west to enter Lough Dan. The scenery around here is spectacular. The valley floor at 230m is very fertile. The remains of lazy beds, which were ridges built for growing vegetables, cover the valley. They are evidence of higher population levels in the mountains in the past. Arctic Char Salvelinus alpinus was last recorded in the lake in 1988. This fish is the one of the oldest inhabitants of Ireland but a recent survey found no trace of them, indicating the species is now extinct in Co. Wicklow. There are Peregrine Falcon sites on the steep cliffs overlooking the lake on the eastern side, and some lovely broad-leaved woodland in the Inchavore Valley. The Cloghoge and Inchavore Rivers are rich in invertebrates and breeding Dippers and Grey Wagtails can be seen around the river. Herons and Cormorants roost near the mouth of the Cloghoge River.Ref [2]

Is that OK? What's the rule on quotations? it could be re-written to look 'original', is direct attribution better/worse, good/bad? (Sarah777 23:35, 22 March 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Infobox

You might be better off using this {{Infobox lake}} template instead of the Irish place template. ww2censor 16:03, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. But I'm having some technical difficulties with the box. I'll fix it when I get time to study Lakeboxology. (Sarah777 21:03, 23 March 2007 (UTC))[reply]
