Hi, I am reviewing this article, and before I forget:
- This reference is dead http://www.coe.int/t/e/cultural_co-operation/environment/nature_and_biological_diversity/ecological_networks/the_european_diploma/Matsalu.asp#TopOfPage (ref 16 I think).
- I replaced another dead link with the Web Archive version (ref 14, I think.)
- Also, I am doing some copy editing of the article, mostly to reduce the choppiness by combining paras. Feel free to revert any errors I introduce.
- Under History, the first two paras begin with "Scientific research in Matsalu", so one of the para beginnings needs to be reworded for variety.
- The last caption reads in part "Old concrete bridge over Kasari River, at the easternmost border of Matsalu National Park. Built in 1904, it was the longest concrete bridge in the world at that time (308 metres (1,010 ft))" - do you have a reference for that? I don't see one in the article.
- Please have a look at the Lead and make sure it is a summary of the article, per WP:Lead.
Otherwise, although the article is short, it seems to cover the important elements. Xtzou (Talk) 20:36, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
- Hello and thank you for reviewing the article. I will implement some of the suggestions now, but otherwise I will be away until Monday.
- I replaced the dead COE link - previous was to a news release, current is to the resolution.
- Added source to the bridge being longest in the world when it was built. Strange, I could swear I had a source when I inserted the image.
- Reworded the start of the second paragraph in History
- Nice work! Xtzou (Talk) 13:18, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
