Ebbor Gorge[edit]
- ... that the head of Ebbor Gorge (pictured) contains the rare mineral mendipite?
ALT1:... that Ebbor Gorge (pictured) was found to contain the flint tools of the neolithic people who lived there in caves?- Reviewed: Not a self-nomination.
Improved to Good Article status by Rodw (talk). Nominated by Bloom6132 (talk) at 10:53, 11 November 2014 (UTC).
Promoted to GA within timescale. Images properly licensed. Nice article, no evidence of plagiarism. Both hook facts have cites, however while the ALT1 cites say that evidence for human habitation were found in the caves, the references indicate that the flints were recovered from fields above the Gorge.

- Unfortunately, the references I was able to check did not mention flints being recovered from within the gorge at all, but rather from the area above the gorge. I would suggest removing the reference to the tools:
- ALT2 ... that Ebbor Gorge (pictured) was found to contain traces of the Neolithic people who lived there in caves? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Simon Burchell (talk • contribs) 16:19, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
This article is a newly-promoted GA and is long enough and nominated soon enough. Both the original and ALT2 hooks have inline citations to reliable sources. The image is in the public domain, the article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:15, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
