Recent issues with the park

First of all, I want to congratulate the principal author, Gligan, as well. The pictures in this article bewitched me, leading me to translate it to my language (sl:Naravni park Strandža) as a contribution towards this year's Wikimedia CEE Spring initiative. I did some Google digging however, that uncovered several issues with the park's current conservation status, not the least of which is the fact that it's been without a management plan for 20 years now. The article would much benefit from adding a section on current legal issues. I invite the author or other contributors to translate the chapter "Legal and conservation status" ("Pravni in varstveni status") that I added to :slwiki's version. Google Translate should help, and there are many good sources available because it seems this has been quite a controversial subject in Bulgaria for the past 10 years. — Yerpo ^Eh? 18:21, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done The prose is very good, just needs some minor, grammatical and such, editing. Abel (talk) 02:06, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Went ahead and fixed the errors, please check to make sure all the convert templates have the right distance values.Abel (talk) 21:00, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for editing the text - prose is among my weak traits and the main reason I don't review other GA nominations. --Gligan (talk) 14:31, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to be of help.Abel (talk) 16:38, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Done Some references have errors. Abel (talk) 02:06, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Went ahead and fixed the errors, please check and make sure I got the names right. Abel (talk) 02:38, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You have got all names right. I only corrected the link to the article of Vasil Gyuzelev. --Gligan (talk) 14:31, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Even better.Abel (talk) 16:38, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Done Climate box needs a source. Abel (talk) 03:42, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- As I normally look at the good articles being nominated, particularly geography and earth sciences, I would like to the point out that the climate box is unsourced. There should be a numbered reference after the source (not simply "source=stringmeteo.org") pointing to the data directly (or at least point you to a navigation page that will display the climate data) as using that one takes you to the main page, not to the data. A good example would be this example where the numbered references take you either to the data directly or to a navigation page that will display the climate data. I suggest finding it or removing it. Normally I would fix this on my own but I don't understand any Bulgarian. Ssbbplayer (talk) 03:18, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I found data for Malko Tarnovo in stringmeteo.org and put it into the table instead of the data for Ahtopol. --Gligan (talk) 14:31, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What Ssbbplayer wants is the newest version of Kichukova M., 1983, Climate Guide of Bulgaria, National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Volume 3. Clearly there is a newer volume as the data includes 1985. Just copy and paste the English of the newest version of that publication and I can help you with the citation formatting. Abel (talk) 16:38, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see now, the temperature data is from the climate guide and the precipitation data is from the website. Added a citation for the climate guide so that they are now both cited together.Abel (talk) 01:16, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for very much for improving the citation. And I would like to use the opportunity to once again express my gratitude for your work on the prose and, of course, for promoting the article. Best regards, --Gligan (talk) 16:45, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
