Hi,
I've gone over your response and done a second draft, I would appreciate if you could have a second look.

The comment the reviewer left was:
I honestly don't think this is notable; the sources cited certainly don't bear that out. (The offline sources are not correctly cited, making them difficult or impossible to verify.)
There is also quite a lot of unreferenced content, conjecture, and what looks like original research, which needs to be either properly supported or else removed.

Thanks for the feedback. I disagree that this woodland is not notable. In the local history of Ropley and Four Marks this woodland plays a significant role and many locals are very familiar with it and visit it daily for walks and foraging. From personal experience I have had many questions asked about this as no other information can be found of this woodland and surrounding area online.
The sources I have used are far more extensive than many other already-existing local history pages for example the entire village of Wield which has a total of 3 sources. Some of the sources may not be orthodox, but they will be familiar to most, for example the National Grid References that I use for highlighting the locations of certain features. Unfortunately sources from the Hampshire Environmental Records are not active as the website has been undergoing maintenance since March. This is completely out of my control but the website will be updated soon. I have also gone through the offline sources and recited them.
I understand I haven't used completely concrete language; the occasional use of 'potentially' and 'most likely' but this is common language in local history works. As one can not be 100% sure of all information on a topic, however, this doesn't mean it should be exluded completely, especially when information is already lacking. Rather, it should be included with clarification that it is not undeniable fact but a theory that the reader can make their mind up about.
I would appreciate reconsideration and I hope you can see the significance of this article to the local area.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
