• Lead at one sentence is not an adequate summary of the article, even if it is a short article.

  • Yg Added some information from 2011 (and at least something about the island from 2016), but information about the camping venue was surprisingly hard to track down; even county planning documents and parcel information didn't really say much.
• Highest elevation appears in infobox but not in text, could add a sentence for that.
  • Y Fixed.
• Still marked as a stub which it patently is not.
  • Y Fixed.
• Be consistent, some of your online sources have access dates, others don't.
  • Y Fixed.

Taking a crack at this now. I will deposit whatever random links I find on the talk page, in the hopes of turning up something later than 2007. jp×g 08:30, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I have found a couple of links, but nothing especially promising (the last word anyone had on those development plans seems to have been in 2011). I will try to incorporate those; the rest of the stuff is copyediting, which I can do quickly. jp×g 09:40, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: I've gotten around to it, what do you think? jp×g 07:13, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• [1], map of flood insurance rate zones (not very interesting but does show the island)
• [2] This one is actually good (lists a ton of islands, including weird ones like walter, morrison, tinsley, fern, and acker)
• [3] Agenda from 2002, mentions "Grant Application for Funding Hog Island Delta Center Project Coordination"
• [4] No idea what this is, but it mentions a repair on 2 bunk houses, a kitchen, and a restroom on S/S Rindge Tract N/Hog Island.
• [5] Same, mentions "Al Vetters Strg Bldg" on Hog Island. Not sure what this means.
• [6] Interactive map of active planning applications in San Joaquin County. Nothing at Hog Island. Sad!
• [7] 2014, mentions Hog Island (as well as Spud and Acker Islands) on page 28, detail on ecology
