[edit]

Hmm, I'll jot some queries: Casliber (talk · contribs) 01:52, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Titchwell Marsh is an Royal Society for the Protection of Birds nature reserve... - looks odd having consecutive bluelinks. I figure if you make it " Titchwell Marsh is a nature reserve run by/administered by/owned by Royal Society for the Protection of Birds .." , this allows us to split the bluelinks and also use a passive participle to explain the relationship.
Regarding the headings - they look good apart from the overlinclusive title for section 2 "The reserve" - maybe something more defined like "Layout and facilities" - and some of the access and facilities material would be better juxtaposed to material in the "The reserve" ubersection.
Needs more on flora, if possible

    A pleasure to review this excellent article. I am happy to list it. Will put under Nature reserves, conservation areas and countryside routes sub-section in the Geography and places section.

Comments pre FA

[edit]
  • In the interest of avoiding any hint of bias, you might think about using the complete names of referenced birds ("Pied Avocet", "European Robin") instead of the UK-only shortcuts.
  • I'd link Montagu's Harrier and Marsh Harrier, since they're apparently a good part of the reason the reserve was established in the first place.

Lovely article; minor sentence quibble

[edit]

This is a lovely article! Congratulations to all concerned. It literally made me want to go there and see the place for myself. I have one minor quibble which is about the way the lead section currently ends: This internationally important reserve is part of the North Norfolk Coast [SSI ...] and is also protected through Natura 2000, Special Protection Area (SPA) and Ramsar listings.. I feel that the "listings" is a bit late, so it's like a German sentence where you have to wait to the end to find out what was going on in the middle! I first read This internationally important reserve is part of the North Norfolk Coast [SSI ...] and is also protected through Natura 2000. ... which left me going "er, what?" Is there any way, please, to restructure this a little so we get the point a bit earlier? I was wondering if something like this could work: This internationally important reserve is part of the North Norfolk Coast [SSI ...] and is also protected through its listings {with/at/something-or-other?} Natura 2000 etc etc. I would have a go myself but I don't know the topic well enough and do not wish to mess it up. Certainly, it will be no disaster if it is left how it is; on the other hand, if another editor reading this understands - perhaps even sympathizes with - my objection and can find an elegant rephrasing then great!
