Impressive work, I would be pleased to help. Sainsf <^>Feel at home 10:01, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Lead:
  • a constituent part of the United Kingdom I am sure this refers to Wales and not to Western Europe. Could be clearer.
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • It had a population in 2011 of 3,063,456 Would be better to write something like "As of 2011, the population is..."
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • with a total area of 20,779 km2 (8,023 sq mi) Repeated fact.
Removed. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Exploitation of the South Wales Coalfield... I wonder if "developing" and "expanding" would look better as "development" and "expansion".
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think "Atlantic Ocean" should be wikilinked.
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Duplinks: There are one or more duplinks in each section. Please fix them and retain only if necessary.
Removed, I think. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Physical geography:
  • "Mountainous" may not need a link. If you wish to keep the link then please link it in the lead as well.
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Say either "northwest" or "north west".
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • The meaning of "tussocky" may not be apparent. Better add a few words of explanation.
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think you can say "rivers Mawddach, Dovey, Rheidol, Ystwyth and Teifi" instead of "the River Mawddach, the River Dovey, the River Rheidol, the River Ystwyth and the River Teifi "; "the river" need not be repeated. Try this with a few more instances in this section.
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Llyn Trawsfynydd 4.8 km2 (1.9 sq mi) I think you should say "at" 4.8 km2 here and in similar instances.
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think "glacial valley" should be wikilinked.
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Geology:
  • Link or explain outcropping, turbidity and folding.
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • some 700mya Better write "some 7 Mya".
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Lower Palaeozoic Can you add how long ago it was? I think you should try to add the "myas" for at least some of the eras mentioned later on as well.
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • sedimentary and volcanic rocks, marine basin Links?
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Link "Ordovician".
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • No source for the last para?
Added. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Climate:
  • I think "Atlantic Ocean" and "low pressure system" should be wikilinked.
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Any conversion or linking possible for "knots"?
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Land use:
  • The figures for area in the lead are in sq.km. and sq.mi., while here you use hectares and acres. I think it would be better to have some consistency here.
Changed the lead. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Natural resources:
  • in Roman Times When would that be?
Rephrased. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Link or explain "metalliferous".
Rephrased. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • and at one time Snowdonia had a flourishing copper industry Any idea when exactly?
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do "oil" and "gas" need links?
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Snowdonia and Brecon Beacons national parks These are linked in "Protected areas", but I guess they should be linked just here as this is the first mention.
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Political geography:
  • Does "pub" need a link?
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • are known as principal areas Not sure if we need italics or quotes here.
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Demography:
  • The population of Wales in 2014 This section gives a more recent estimate than the lead (2011).
Changed lead. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • population and industrial areas Are the links really needed?
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Protected areas:
  • the spectacular coastal scenery "spectacular" may not look like NPOV.
I think this is OK. They wanted to preserve the landscape because it was spectacular. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Does "waterfall" need a link?
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Images: Look good, I think the caption of the first image (the map) could better read "Physical map of Wales".
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That is all I have to say. I appreciate your efforts for this article, it is really beautiful. Good luck! Sainsf <^>Feel at home 11:00, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
