5x expanded by Uncle G (talk), Crouch, Swale (talk), ActivelyDisinterested (talk), DuncanHill (talk), and Storye book (talk). Nominated by Storye book (talk) at 18:43, 15 November 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Cote, West Sussex; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

Interesting details on fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF. Both hooks work for me, ALT1 slightly better. Bird Sanctuary would probably also be attractive. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:11, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
I find alt1 supported by the sentences at the beginning of the section, Bird Sanctuary. Bruxton (talk) 20:28, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
