Hello
Mike Peel--quick comment: the ISBN for the guidebook, La Palma, seems to be incorrect, and without any further bibliographical information it's pretty much impossible to find it, even adding "Urente". Thanks,

Mike Peel, thanks--I see that. I would like to ask you to for a bit more sourcing. We have one tourist guide and one (Spanish) website, so that's not exceedingly strong for a front page article. I did a quick search and Google News showed a few more sites, not necessarily much better, but more is always better, plus a few English-language tourist guides. Thanks,

Drmies: OK, more references added, although they didn't add too much more content. I'm struggling to find more - while clearly notable, it's not well documented online, and I can't easily access offline Spanish sources. Interested in doing a full review? Thanks.

Much better,
Mike Peel, thanks. [Long enough, new enough, interesting enough, no plagiarism that I can see, image properly licensed, etc.) One thing, though (besides the QPQ): I need you to do a minor tweak to that hook, "said to be named" or something like that. Thanks,

Drmies: QPQ is now done. I've proposed ALT1 and struck the original hook. I just realised that I don't know if the trees are actually named or not, but they are definitely 'said to represent'. Thanks.
