This is not yet a full review, but the page size tool is currently showing only 1444 bytes of prose (not counting references, figure caption, or section headings). It needs 1500 to be eligible for DYK. Would it be possible to expand it a little more? Additionally the entire phrase "Department of the Environment Planning Service placed a Tree Preservation Order on" appears to be lifted from http://ccght.org/darkhedges/ and should be rephrased. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:58, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
- The supposed copyvio is very hard to rephrase in any meaningful way (I had already rearranged the sentence), seeing as most of the words constitute the names of a public body and an official order. I have removed the name of the public body. PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 06:27, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
- I have added a section about a local ghost, which hopefully makes the article reach the required length? PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 07:07, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
Article is now new enough, long enough, adequately sourced, and free of copyvio. This appears to be only the third DYK for the nominator, so no QPQ is needed. The hook is interesting and its claims are properly sourced. Good to go. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:46, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
