Reviewed Badger culling in the United Kingdom.

I use the violet tick rather than the green one because the reference for the hook is a book which is shown online for purchase but which has no preview or excerpt. I assume in good faith that these experienced editors have the quote and, therefore the hook, right. Two of the sources which are online are in Spanish. I can make out the smallest bit of Spanish in context but that is enough to tell that the references support statements in the article. This article is brief but about twice the minimum size. It is quite interesting, especially if one finds the pre-Columbian civilizations of South American interesting. A pre-Inca site with astronomical elements in the layout is rather fascinating.

In any event, the article was new on the date posted (and has been edited a bit since). It is long enough and meets the various policy guidelines. The hook is short enough and properly formatted. QPQ is done. No image. I think it is ready to go to the prep area/queue. Donner60 (talk) 06:17, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
