This is the latest in my lists of Local Nature Reserves, and is in the same format as FLs such as Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. Dudley Miles (talk) 17:38, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from BeatlesLedTV

Remove the extra period after ref 24 in Lucas Marsh row

Done. Dudley Miles (talk) 22:44, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'd put an en dash in every box in "other classifications" that is empty

I prefer not, mainly for consistency with other lists, but also because I think it looks better without. Dudley Miles (talk) 22:44, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Everything else is good with me. I checked the sources and they're all good is well. Great job! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 22:20, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've just recalled my "writing great proposals" two-day course which talks about writing great image captions. Suggest you embellish that lead caption to tell me a little bit about Snibston Grange...

I missed this every time I guess, but what exactly do you mean by "second tier"? Of what?

Of local government - e.g the county council covers main roads and the district counil minor ones. Changed to "Leicestershire County Council at the top level, with seven district councils in the second tier". Is that clearer?

"December 2017 there " comma after 2017.

Done. Dudley Miles (talk) 15:21, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"300 species of flowering plants, 250 fungi, 100 birds, 20 butterflies and 15 damselflies... " I know what you mean, but this literally reads as the fact there are 20 butterflies there, not 20 species of butterflies....

You don't appear to actually link Leicester in the Description col.

I assumed that it should not be linked as it is in the location column.

Link Overseal?

Done. Dudley Miles (talk) 15:21, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't Morley Quarry be a "RIGS" in its "Other classifications"?

I have never included RIGSs in the classification col and I think it would be misleading to do it in this one case.

"Common and Soprano pipistrelle bats" bit WP:SEAOFBLUE and in any case, in this construction, Soprano need not be capitalised.

Capitalisation corrected. I am not sure how to get rid of the sea of blue. Any suggestions? Dudley Miles (talk) 15:21, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ref 33 for example, MOS:DASH violation. Check others.

Thanks very much for the review The Rambling Man. Dudley Miles (talk) 15:21, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support the tiny outstanding quibbles aren't deal-breakers, nice work. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:55, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Rodw

Another interesting list & most of the issues I might have spotted have already been addressed. A few minor quibbles:

~~In the description of Burbage Common and Woods "Semi-natural woods ... are" this could be interpreted as being about all Semi-natural woods rather than this one in particular~~

Changed. Dudley Miles (talk) 14:32, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(Technical query) Glen Parva says "An arm of the Grand Union Canal" - an arm is generally a navigable waterway away from the main line of the canal. Having taken our narrowboat along this section of the GU I don't believe there is an arm at Glen Parva - perhaps "the line" of the canal rather than "an arm". The reference given just says "A canal runs along the western side of the site."

Changed. I said an arm because I thought that it was on The Leicester Line rather than the main canal, but you would obviously know better. Dudley Miles (talk) 14:32, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The GU is massive so different "lines" relate to different sections (rather than arms - see Saltisford Canal Arm, Buckingham Arm, Slough Arm etc).— Rod ^talk 14:45, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find any other issues.— Rod ^talk 13:35, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for your review Rodw. Dudley Miles (talk) 14:32, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I can now support this list as meeting the criteria.— Rod ^talk 14:45, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
