Snowdon Lily

  • ... that the biodiversity of Wales has unique species which can only be found in a certain region in Wales and nowhere else in the world?

  • Symbol possible vote.svg Article has numerous citation needed tags, and the hook is over 200 characters. Sasata (talk) 08:51, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
The hook has been trimmed. The article is well referenced. The citation needed tags are added by good faith editing that has no real need, thanks. --RexRowan(Ninja signal) 12:29, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Reexamined article, still needing citations. RexRowan please note Wikipedia:Did you know/Supplementary guidelines supplementary rule D2 is all paragraphs (no matter the length) should in general have citations. Currently the "Evolution" and "Human Impact/woodlands" are both basically unsourced. Also note D6 which states articles with dispute tags (such as citation needed templates) are likely to be rejected.--Kevmin § 02:22, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
Ok, added the tags, does it look ok now? --RexRowanTalk 10:22, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
Symbol possible vote.svg Much of the language and paragraph structure of "Evolution" is far too close to that of the single source used in that section. Please see WP:Close paraphrasing; still needs quite a bit of work to distance the prose from the source. A greater variety of sources would help too. Sasata (talk) 01:43, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Symbol delete vote.svg Sadly no changes have been made to the noted possible copyvio in the evolution section.--Kevmin § 22:00, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
I didn't mean to leave it like that, I have tried my best to reorder the content but due its highly scientific nature, I do not want to shorten it or reword it to a higher degree in case I misrepresent the data. An expert from the field is welcomed to have a try. Many thanks! --RexRowanTalk 09:31, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
