Article is new enough and long enough, has no apparent issues, and I like it. My one question is if the hook might be better if it included a direct link to both Shep and the semipalmated sandpiper sculpture? So something like this: ... that the replacement of a
semipalmated sandpiper sculpture named
Shep in
New Brunswick led to a $19,000 investigation over code of conduct violations? If you prefer the original, there is nothing wrong with it and we can go with that, but I think providing the link to the type of bird for curious readers is fun. What do you think?

Lead and infobox
- The article doesn't mention that the statue is dedicated to the Bay, just that it was named after it, though the infobox says the former
Description
- "The sculpture is considered by locals" → I know this is picky, but the source at the end of this sentence describes only one local that says this
History
- "2001, for Dorchester's inaugural" → remove comma
- "4.0 metres (13.1 ft), and was referred" → remove comma
- "world's largest sandpiper."" → move full stop outside quotes per MOS:LQ
- "Dorchester village council" → if this is the council's name, it should have caps
- "at a cost of $9,300" → is this CAD or USD?
- "by residents, but caused controversy" → remove comma
- "Former Dorchester council member Wiggins-Colwell" → feels weird to me to qualify her as mayor first and then as former council member later
- "municipality $19,167.11" → I can appreciate specificity, but I think you'd be fine to just say $19,167
- "procedures and bylaws."" → same as above per LQ
That's what I've got. PCN02WPS ( talk | contribs) 22:34, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @ PCN02WPS, thanks for the review. Looking at the sources, it doesn't appear that the council is named "Dorchester Village Council" and rather refers to its council as a village council, so I left that. Otherwise, all changes have been made. B3251 (talk) 23:59, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
