Rokel River

[edit]

Rokel River Estuary at Freetown

  • ... that the Rokel River estuary (pictured), which extends over an area of 2,950 square kilometres (1,140 sq mi), became a Ramsar wetland site of importance in 1999?

  • Article expansion checks out, it is generally well referenced and readable, QPQ done and there appear to be no problems with image copyright or close paraphrasing. On the other hand, I am not certain the image is approproate, since it does not depict the river proper, and, more importantly, I could not find the reference for its listing as a Ramsar site. The sentence is unreferenced both in the lede and the main article (it is not covered by ref. #5, which originally was in another paragraph). Constantine 15:47, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
  • I've added a UN ref for the Ramsar sentence. --Rosiestep (talk) 14:20, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the review. References now provided in the lead itself.--Nvvchar. 16:04, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
OK, now it checks out, good to go. Constantine 14:04, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
