As nowadays this subject is fortunately being taken more seriously by politicians and others than it was in 2018, would you or anyone else have time to update this article? If not I am not sure it is still GA. One reason I am asking is that I am looking for some ideas before creating "Forest in Turkey". Perhaps I should model it on 2431:
Thanks for the ping! I'm coming at this from a botanical rather than commercial forestry angle. The tree list is of uncertain value as it stands at the moment, as a lot of the trees on it (including many of the native species) are not of commercial forestry significance, being little more than shrubs

The 'Period' is also of limited value, but if wanted, much more precise introduction dates are known for most introduced species; I can add them if need be. I'd also suggest changing the

History of Forestry in the UK I don't see an issue with its absence. Possibly the section could be retitled 'Background'. The lead makes it clear that the article is only intended to deal with the current (and recent) situation. In terms of GA status I am more concerned by the lack of referencing in

I've added a long footnote. The distinction between "tree" and "shrub" is not clear cut and I don't have the main texts so I didn't want to add to the main list - at least at this point. Also, there may be all kinds of Welsh shrubs lurking in valleys I know nothing about. For my money, Elder and the

For books with more than one edition, it could be clearer which edition is being referenced (it's always the latest one, as far as I can tell). It may be clearer not to mention the date of publication of the first edition, since then looking for e.g. James 1966 one sees James 1955 (and further down

These are not specialist terms, and the topic of the article is not a specialist term. If they were specialist terms, then fine, if 'Forestry in United Kingdom' didn't just talk about forestry in the United Kingdom, if it was the name of a book or something, or if it was a technical concept that

Hi there, I've been doing some work on this and I'm not sure I completely agree :) They were legal constructs, yes, but the Royal Forests included very large amounts of the wooded areas that survived and think of as major forests today (Dean, Sherwood, Epping). They also contained and protected

OK, I think that's enough to mark it as a pass. I still think the list in the article is rather a long intermission, and would suggest you consider moving it to another article. Looking around, though, I see that there seem to be competing lists with this (as rather unencylopaedicly stated at

I seem to have unwatched this article by accident. I certainly didn't mean to. I was therefore unaware of the maintenance tags and talk page commentary, and I haven't satisfied the tagger's demands. I would however note that if changes are needed and sources exist, then the edit button is

It is simply incorrect to emphasise the terms like that. This is not the article for people that don't know what 'forestry' is, nor where the 'united kingdom' is; if they need to know that, they need to go to the relevant articles, and in those articles the titles are emphasised.

Planting and Stewardship and management. I assume that this could be easily remedied? Otherwise I find some of the language a bit clunky and don't personally like the big list in the middle, but see no reason other than the missing cites why it would need reassessing.

Please do muck in and edit the article, there's a long way to go before it's fit to be featured content! :-) If for any reason you're hesitant you're obviously welcome to propose specific changes here. Quite possibly I'm the only person who has this page watchlisted,

So I think the royal forests had an important role in UK forestry history.Hope this helps 1663:"Thirty-one species" is spelled out here whereas "32 species" is not in the lead.
