[edit] GA on hold

This article has been placed on hold for the following reasons.

• According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space -   between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 220 metres, use 220 metres, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 220 metres.^[?]
• According to Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Build the web, years with full dates should be linked; for example, link January 15, 2006.^[?]
• Please make the spelling of English words consistent with either American or British spelling, depending upon the subject of the article. Examples include: metre (B) (American: meter), ization (A) (British: isation), cosy (B) (American: cozy), program (A) (British: programme).
• According to WP:MSH section headings should not repeat the title.

When these problems are addressed feel free to contact me. Tarret 01:23, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

I was unaware that an article could be placed on GA hold solely due to automated peer review. Nevertheless, I'm grateful for the prompt review. I believe I've put in all the non-breaking spaces that are required. I'm not sure that there are any suitable (full) dates to be linked. I've removed the Environmental threats section heading, and I submit that this article is written in Australian English, which is somewhat of a hybrid between British and American English in places. (although spelling of the non-abbreviated IMO has been retained as being the spelling of the original.)-Malkinann 06:09, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

While these aren't serious MOS violations this article still has potential, and while the suggestions were bot-generated they still helped to improve the article which is the purpose of the GA process. Tarret 21:14, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
