  •  Doing... starting review for DYK nomination. Flibirigit (talk) 03:13, 7 June 2019 (UTC)


General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - ?
  • Interesting: Yes
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article prose was expanded fivefold and nominated within the proper timeframe. Length and sourcing are adequate. Article is neutral in tone and no plagiarism detected. The photo used is properly licensed and clear. QPQ has been completed. The hook is interesting, however I do not see four species of turtles mentioned in the Fauna section, nor the clawless otter.

  • I had a brief look at this article earlier, didn't finish a full review quick enough, but I found it strange an accommodation website (Accomodation Direct) was being used as a source. Why? – Teratix 03:54, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
@Flibirigit: I have replaced the source mentioned by Teratix and added the information necessary to back up the hook. Sorry about that, I don't know what happened! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:41, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

I am satisfied with the change of source in the Geography section. The hook is now properly mentioned in the Fauna section, and cited by this source. ALT0 approved. Flibirigit (talk) 18:07, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
