"Main Ridge is the main mountainous ridge on the island of Tobago, Trinidad and Tobago," - later on you say Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, which is it - Republic or not?
My goal here was to formally state the name in the body of the article, while using a shorter form in the lead, per WP:SUMMARY. I'm fine changing it though.
"Southern Tobago fault system" - can link fault (geology) Done
"is one of the oldest protected areas in the world" - probably worth linking protected area to clarify that it's for conservation purposes Done
"It is an important site for birdwatching and ecotourism. Main Ridge provides important habitat for native plants and animals, including several species endemic to Tobago." - repetition of "important" in such close proximity; can we replace one of them with a different word? Done
History
"the island was surveyed, divided into 100–500 acres (40–202 ha) plots" - should be "acre" not "acres;" just add |adj=on to the convert template Done
Geography
"which is the smaller and more northern of the two main islands that make up the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago" - same as first note in lead; republic or no?
" The chain of hills are 29 kilometres (18 mi) long[8] and runs " - should be "are" not "is" Done
Geology
"A combination of uplift, erosion and faulting during the late Mesozoic and Paleogene,[12]" - need a comma after "erosion" since you're using the serial comma elsewhere; don't think you need the comma after Paleogene Done
Vegetation and ecology
"The Main Ridge is one of two areas in the country which support the most globally rare plant species.[8]" - what's the other? Also this is written a bit vaguely; do you mean they support the largest number of globally rare species or the single most globally rare plant species? Fixed
"Main Ridge is an important ecotourism destination,[6][15] and birdwatching site.[19] " - don't need the comma Done
"The site has a visitor centre and a network of nine trails which allow access to the site. Additional trails were constructed to reduce pressure on the most popular trail Gilpin Trace, which is prone to over-use.[15] " - why the comma before which in the second sentence but not the first?
It was supposed to be Additional trails were constructed to reduce pressure on the most popular trail, Gilpin Trace, which is prone to over-use. I'm awful at copy-editing my own writing.
"The Main Ridge Forest Reserve was named the World's Leading Ecotourism Destination by the World Travel Awards from 2003 to 2006, and the World's Leading Green Destination in 2007 and 2009.[20]" - don't need the comma Done
Nitpick, but refs 1 and 11 should have periods at the very end like the others. Done
Have all available sources been consulted? Seems a little short for such an article; could it be any more comprehensive?
It could be more comprehensive, certainly. I could expand the ecology and conservation section a lot, but that's already the longest part by a lot. The geology section is a difficult needle to thread, because there's no geology of Tobago article to add the background that lets me reference things without adding an over-lengthy explanation. Let me see what I can do here.
I've dug through the source I can find, and I think I've gotten most of the breadth I can add, without going too far down the path of listing every species I can find or going into the details of the composition of North Coast Schists.
Done
Fixed
