I'll review this shortly. Seattle (talk) 19:37, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It's the most comprehensive account of such an obscure small island on the web!♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:56, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No DAB links, no dead links. After thought I understand File:Lagskar locator.png, and it checks out. The other files check out as well.

Ref 14, it would be better to cite the Nordic Journal of Botany and the appropriate information than Wiley.

Well-spotted,

Håkansson, Kjell (2010) in the bibliography needs the appropriate language parameter. I'm also unsure of the language of Memoranda Societatis Pro Fauna Et Flora Fennica, add a parameter if needed.

Done

The Swedish Wikipedia offers the following external link: [1], not in our article.

There's nothing of value in that link.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:30, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I can't read either language but the Swedish Wikipedia or the Finnish Wikipedia articles might have something this article doesn't. Worth checking out, especially to be comprehensive. It's of note that both lack references.

Yes we've looked to ensure it is comprehensive.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:50, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Before I review the text I'd like you to look at the two other WP articles mentioned above, so I won't have to re-review if anything is added. Seattle (talk) 23:28, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Seattle: Addressed. The article is pretty comprehensive, not that it really needs to be for GA though.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:30, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Dr. Blofeld: Thank you for your patience. Text review:

including the German Nassau-class battleship SMS Rheinland which ran aground in heavy fog here "Here" seems unencyclopedic, probably against MOS, seems informal.

Abbreviate the IBA in the lead so is recognized as an IBA. makes sense, change in the lead to an Important Bird Area (IBA) in 2000

Done

After the lighthouse was automated in 1961, the lighthouse keepers and their families vacated the island. this statement needs a citation
- When I said this I meant to find a reference or remove the statement, not add a citation needed tag. Seattle (talk) 23:16, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Here" in this section as well

Done

There is large reed bed in the small lagoon area. link "reed bed"

Done Overall, just some small issues, easily fixed, so this article can be the best at a GA level. A very nice addition to Wikipedia. Seattle (talk) 16:19, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Passing. Seattle (talk) 23:12, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
