Subject of article? edit

Is this article intended to be about Sowley Pond or about the SSSI of the same name? They are not the same thing - one is a waterbody of about 40 acres extent, the other is an SSSI which includes the pond plus an area of surrounding land which amounts top over 120 acres. This is by no means the only such article where this sort of confusion arises. Previous to my edit anyone wanting to know the size of the pond would have found a figure given here which was wholly misleading - the figure given was for the SSSI and not the pond. Given that it's also the largest waterbody in the entire New Forest National Park, the figure may also be of wider interest so worth getting right. Geopersona (talk) 17:50, 2 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
