No net loss

I wanted to create a page for no net loss as a policy beyond the United States while retaining the US-specific article. I hope to rename the No net loss wetlands policy page to 'No net loss policy in the United States' and create this as an overall article to address the issue that the page does not represent a worldwide view of the subject since this has been flagged as an issue for three years now.

Comment: @Robert McClenon: I have closed the RM with a moved outcome. Since you have this draft under review, do you want to complete the process? – robertsky (talk) 04:00, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: There is currently a redirect from [No net loss]] to No net loss wetlands policy. There is also a Requested Move to rename No net loss wetlands policy to No net loss wetlands policy in the United States. Consideration should be given to accepting this draft as No net loss environmental policy, because it applies to other types of environmental resources besides wetlands, and moving the existing article, which is nation-oriented.

@Manxshearwater: Not a review, but the hook says "more than 69" and the article says "at least 69", and these are not the same thing.--Laun chba ller 16:55, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Starting review. RoySmith (talk) 19:20, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article is new enough and long enough.
Looks to be appropriately sourced.
QPQ exempt.
Earwig doesn't show any copyvio problems.
I can't get to the full source to resolve the "at least 69" vs "more than 69" issue pointed out by Launchballer, but this needs to get sorted before this can be promoted, so giving this a query. Other than that, everything is good. I'm not excited about the interestingness of the hook, but it's not bad enough to hold up approval. RoySmith (talk) 19:33, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for bringing this to my attention @RoySmith @chba, I have changed it accordingly! Manxshearwater (talk) 18:59, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- OK, thanks. I'll AGF that this actually matches the source. BTW, for future reference, it's generally better to strike out an incorrect hook and add an alternate below it instead of editing it in-line. That just makes the history easier to follow. But no worries, you're good for this nomination.
