• ... that stately home Linton Park in Kent, England has an avenue of Giant Sequoia trees planted in 1864?

• Article length, date of creation, hook interest, prose, and reliability of sources all check out. Spotchecked the three most frequently cited online sources from the article for copyvio and unduly close paraphrasing, using toolserver, and found nothing problematic. The only issue is the on-line sourcing for the Sequoias being planted in 1864. (I did find this source about the Sequoias that you may want to add, but it doesn't give the planting year.) Once that's remedied, let me know. Cbl62 (talk) 23:01, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
  • I mistyped the date then copied it over wrongly to the DYK nom. It is 1864 and the source is from ref 1 where the trees are called as Wellingtonias.--DavidCane (talk) 23:19, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying. Everything now looks fine. Cbl62 (talk) 23:48, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
