• ... that in the Monegros Desert, the Aregon Steppes are home for many endangered bird species including the Great Bustard (pictured)?

• Reviewed: Siege of Base 46

Created/expanded by Dr. Blofeld (talk), Nvvchar (talk), Fram (talk), and Rosiestep (talk). Nominated by Nvvchar (talk) at 08:35, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

• Good to go. Article is over 4000 characters, hook is interesting and under the 200 characters required and accepted AGF. Reliable sources used and no plagiarism or close paraphrasing. Assuming QPQ will be done soon, as noted above. Picture is public domain.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:24, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

• As QPQ is not yet done, a tick should not have been given. A tick means the nomination is ready for immediate promotion, which this isn't. Nothing against the article or hook, but premature ticks are one way mistakes get made. Looking forward to promoting this when the QPQ has been completed.

• Sorry for the mistake. I won't approve next time UNTIL the QPQ is done.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:16, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

• Thanks. It's not an infrequent mistake, but fortunately it's easily fixed if spotted. The ? icon is good for reviews where everything else is approval-ready except for the still-to-be-done QPQ. As long as the review text makes clear that this is the case, someone else can add the approval icon (whether regular or AGF) once the QPQ has been completed.

• Extremely sorry for the delay in reviewing. I have now reviewed Siege of Base 46.

• Nvvchar, can you please be sure to link to the template you reviewed rather than the article? It's a bit of a pain to check the actual review when you don't link directly to it. (It also helps if you sign your comments here.) Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:08, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

• Sorry again. Done now.--Nvvchar. 04:31, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

• I guess I wasn't clear: the link should look like this, so someone can click on it and go directly to the review: Template:Did you know nominations/Siege of Base 46. Reinstating AGF tick per Doug Coldwell's original review above now that QPQ has been completed. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:44, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
