This is the latest in my lists of Sites of Special Scientific Interest and is in the same format as FLs such as List of Sites of Special Scientific Interest in Suffolk and List of Sites of Special Scientific Interest in Kent. Dudley Miles (talk) 12:17, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Download coordinates as: KML · GPX → GPX link gives an error
  • 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
  • Is ref 40 a reliable source?
  • 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"
  • 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 MEDUSAtalk 19:10, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your review CAPTAIN MEDUSA. Dudley Miles (talk) 20:58, 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
  • Inkpen Common, Inkpen Crocus Field, Seven Barrows et al needs a piped link for BBOWT per WP:ASTONISH
  • 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?
  • 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]
