This is the latest in my nominations of lists of

Sites of Special Scientific Interest, and it is in the same format as FLs such as Suffolk and Northamptonshire. Dudley Miles (talk) 09:46, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply

  • Comments I think this is the seventh such list I've reviewed, and each time I find fewer things to correct. Some minor changes include:
  • Linked all as I understand this should be done in sortable lists. Dudley Miles (talk) 10:47, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • wording from: "The cliffs have fossiliferous rocks dating to the Cretaceous between 99 and 86 million years ago, and they are historically " to "... 99 and 86 million years ago that are historically..."
  • careful with Latin species names, the genus should be capitalized and the whole word italicized, see: limax tenellus, grilis pannonicus, Volucella inanis, crossocerus cetratus, crossocerus styrius, crossocerus distinguendus, stratiomys potamida, erioptera limbata, agonopterix putridella, cratoneuron filicinum, Homo Heidelbergensis (only first is capitalized)
  • "has three nationally rare plants" or "There are five rare invertebrates, including three bee species"... when giving specific small numbers (such as 3), I think it's best to list. If it's too many then it's ok to omit. Your call here.
  • Done first but not the second as NE only specifies some of them. Dudley Miles (talk) 10:47, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • no need to capitalize last glacial period
  • Done. (I am doubtful as it is the name for a period but I see the article on it does not capitalize.) Dudley Miles (talk) 10:47, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • link Equisetes lyellii

Comments
  • "English channel" needs a capital C.
  • I'm no expert (by any means) but I don't understand what "other sites in the Thames sequence" means.
  • It is not quite correct. I should have said "sites in the main Thames sequence". How about "This
    Thames
    sites makes precise correlation of rocks laid down in the site with the main Thames sequence uncertain."
  • Changed again to "This
    Thames sequence makes precise correlation of Aylesford rocks with those laid down at the same time in Thames sites uncertain." I am trying to convey that they are not sure which rocks in the different areas were laid down at the same time, but I am not sure I have got it right.

  • " 550,000 and 300,000 old" missing "years"
  • "include 3 species" three.
  • "AONB.[146]NT[147]" space needed, replace . with ,
  • "140 to 100 millions years ago" million.
  • "the sixty-seven species" 67 (to be consistent with other such entries).
  • Is it Gault Clay or gault clay?
  • Lower case is correct. it is a type of clay.

Otherwise another typically good piece of work. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:25, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support my concerns addressed. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:25, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I just wish the main image wasn't so low-res/grainy, but otherwise the list looks great. Courcelles (talk) 18:26, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Many thanks. I am away on holiday but will look at the image issue when I can. Dudley Miles (talk) 20:55, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
