Alt text

I've added alt text and tweaked the article yet again. Do we know how many visitors the park gets annually? Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:49, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am afraid, we don't have the number of annual visitors. Revenue-wise it is the second most earner after Yala. I was able to get the visitor information on Udawalawe though.--Chanaka L (talk) 08:52, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I expanded the lead section to summarize the text.--Chanaka L (talk) 08:34, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good, I've tidied it a bit to remove repetition (the name of the park is used far too often), and running sentences together to improve the flow. Please change back anything you don't like

Thanks Jim, It is all OK. Do you think now it is ready for nomination? --Chanaka L (talk) 09:22, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think so, it will probably be a while before it gets reviewed, so we can carry on refining the prose any way. A reviewer is bound to pick up on things we have missed any way. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 11:23, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
