Semois Valley National Park

• ... that the Semois Valley National Park (pictured) and the National Park Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse together form part of one of the largest consecutive forested areas of Western Europe? Source: WWF Belgium (in French): "Ces titres offriront donc une protection accrue de l’Ardenne occidentale, l’un des plus grands massifs forestiers d’Europe occidentale. « On peut marcher de Chiny, dans la Vallée de la Semois, jusqu’à Couvin, dans l’Entre-Sambre-Et-Meuse, sans quitter la forêt. C’est près de 70 km à vol d’oiseau ! », remarque Corentin Rousseau, chargé de programme au WWF-Belgique." Deepl gives the following translation: "These designations will therefore provide enhanced protection for the Western Ardennes, one of the largest forest areas in Western Europe. “You can walk from Chiny, in the Semois Valley, to Couvin, in the Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse region, without ever leaving the forest. That’s nearly 70 km as the crow flies!” notes Corentin Rousseau, programme officer at WWF-Belgium."

• I realised I would like to re-nominate this together with another article a bit later, instead of doing a stand-alone nom. Is it possible to close the nomination for this reason, at my own request? Thanks. Yakikaki (talk) 19:16, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

@Yakikaki: You can just add another article to this nom.--Launchballer 19:44, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

@Launchballer: Thanks, I've tried to change the nomination to include the second article and changed to perhaps a hookier hook. Let me know if I missed something. I will do a second QPQ asap. Yakikaki (talk) 20:56, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

Ping me when done. I'll review this then.--Launchballer 21:06, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

@Launchballer: Ready when you are. Yakikaki (talk) 21:14, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

Both articles are long and new enough and the QPQs are done. Hook checks out. No issues that might deserve a maintenance template in either article. Let's roll.--Launchballer 00:17, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

@Launchballer: I tweaked the wording of the hook to be more in line with what the source actually states. It now reads "form parts of" where it was originally "constitutes". Sorry to bother you with this but I figured it's best to be transparent. Yakikaki (talk) 18:09, 13 April 2026 (UTC)
