Feedback

Hmm, I'll jot some queries: Casliber (talk · contribs) 01:52, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Titchwell Marsh is an Royal Society for the Protection of Birds nature reserve... - looks odd having consecutive bluelinks. I figure if you make it " Titchwell Marsh is a nature reserve run by/administered by/owned by Royal Society for the Protection of Birds .." , this allows us to split the bluelinks and also use a passive participle to explain the relationship.

Regarding the headings - they look good apart from the overlinclusive title for section 2 "The reserve" - maybe something more defined like "Layout and facilities" - and some of the access and facilities material would be better juxtaposed to material in the "The reserve" ubersection.

Needs more on flora, if possible

Overall:
Pass/Fail:
A pleasure to review this excellent article. I am happy to list it. Will put under Nature reserves, conservation areas and countryside routes sub-section in the Geography and places section.

Comments pre FA

In the interest of avoiding any hint of bias, you might think about using the complete names of referenced birds ("Pied Avocet", "European Robin") instead of the UK-only shortcuts.
I'd link Montagu's Harrier and Marsh Harrier, since they're apparently a good part of the reason the reserve was established in the first place.

Lovely article; minor sentence quibble

This is a lovely article! Congratulations to all concerned. It literally made me want to go there and see the place for myself. I have one minor quibble which is about the way the lead section currently ends: This internationally important reserve is part of the North Norfolk Coast [SSI ...] and is also protected through Natura 2000, Special Protection Area (SPA) and Ramsar listings.. I feel that the "listings" is a bit late, so it's like a German sentence where you have to wait to the end to find out what was going on in the middle! I first read This internationally important reserve is part of the North Norfolk Coast [SSI ...] and is also protected through Natura 2000. ... which left me going "er, what?" Is there any way, please, to restructure this a little so we get the point a bit earlier? I was wondering if something like this could work: This internationally important reserve is part of the North Norfolk Coast [SSI ...] and is also protected through its listings {with/at/something-or-other?} Natura 2000 etc etc. I would have a go myself but I don't know the topic well enough and do not wish to mess it up. Certainly, it will be no disaster if it is left how it is; on the other hand, if another editor reading this understands - perhaps even sympathizes with - my objection and can find an elegant rephrasing then great! Sorry to take up your time reading this and best to all, DBaK (talk) 19:09, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
