This list follows the format of the other NNL lists that I have recently brought to FLC, with changes based on feedback from those nominations. I look forward to comments! Dana boomer (talk) 18:24, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comments:
- No DABs nor dead links.
- Why do the headers need to be colored?
- You give a broad description of what NNLs are, but what about NNLs specific to Illinois? What flora/fauna make up NNLs in Illinois?
- The coordinate system is not consistent in terms of markup; some use decimals, some do not.
Otherwise, I think this list meets featured status. Thanks for the contribution. Seattle (talk) 22:07, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the review! The headers are similarly colored in all National Natural Landmark, National Registered Historic Place, National Historic Landmark, etc. articles (each with their own specific color). To change one, it would be necessary to change them all, and I think this was a color scheme determined by the relevant project, so it would probably need to be discussed there. The entire first paragraph is about the NNLs specific to Illinois, but I have added a sentence on the flora and fauna. To be honest, NNLs are more about the habitats and landforms, rather than the animals/plants themselves. Finally, I have standardized the coordinates.

Comments
- Not blown away by the repeat of "National Natural Landmark" in the opening sentence just to get a bold intro.
- You haven't linked Illinois in the opening para of the lead.
- "upland forest" just links to "forest" which is a pretty common term.
- Upland forest redirects to forest, but the forest page doesn't actually mention the term. Suggestions? - DB
- Heron Pond should have an en-dash.
- I don't think tallgrass is hyphenated.
Otherwise a good piece of work. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:24, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I think I've either fixed or replied to everything above. Thanks for the review! Dana boomer (talk) 17:06, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- The Rambling Man, is everything addressed to your satisfaction? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:58, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, thanks. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:24, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support; I've taken the bold out of the opening line: it's advised against in the MoS (only the full title, not a part of it should be bolded). Nice piece of work, very well put together. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 09:37, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
