Interesting topic, I might watch it on the BBC player if I can get access--good job on creating the article. Unfortunately it is not yet long enough for a DYK, articles must be at least 1,500 words long; Nature's Microworlds is 287. The article meets content policies but the prose could be straightened out a little and I feel the article would be shorter still after that. We can work on making the hook at little sharper if the article is expanded in the next few days. Thanks again for sharing the knowledge and best of luck with the article!! Let me know if you'd like any help. Best, --Ktlynch (talk) 05:25, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

DYK articles must be 1,500 characters long, not 1,500 words.--SGCM (talk) 06:14, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Oops! Apologies, I misread. The article is then fine, I gave it a light copyedit. CAn I suggest a shortening of the hook? Maybe, ALT1: "... that the BBC documentary Nature's Microworlds covers the wildlife of microclimates ranging from the Serengeti grasslands in Africa to the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard?"

Sure, sounds good. Thanks for the copyediting.:) --SGCM (talk) 06:38, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Good to go with the new hook. Congrulations, another new article in the Wikipedia! --Ktlynch (talk) 08:50, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
