Why is this considered notable? See WP:Notability It's a tiny creek in rural PA, and the article covers everything about it in massive detail. 98.249.198.22 (talk) 00:00, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that it can be covered in massive detail based on multiple reliable sources indicates it warrants an article. FunkMonk (talk) 22:05, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Will get to this in a few days. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 10:49, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

• Ensure that all the facts of the lead also find mention in the main text.

• All of the facts that can be appropriately stated in the body are.

• Thanks, I needed to ensure this. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 10:14, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• I would recommend adding notes or brief explanations for terms like Migratory Fishery Coldwater Fishery, a Warmwater Fishery and a Trout Stocking Fishery.

• Done.

• It is said to show "some degraded conditions" By some specific authority?

• By the reference.

• not considered to be impaired Another note on "impaired waterbody" please.

• See the Abrahams Creek GA review.

• Pennsylvania Route 309 should be linked in the lead

• Done.

• I generally recommend linking in the lead as well as the main text; follow what you prefer, though.

• There already are some?

• I did not check it seriously, just a note. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 10:14, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hydrology

• It has been described as showing "some degraded conditions" Please add the authority that puts it so.

• It's the reference itself.

• The "cubic feet/second" and "milli/mcrograms per liter" measurements need convert templates.

• Done.

• This value was historically somewhat higher Do you have any information on why this was so?

• I don't.

• What do you mean by "were once measured to be"? How old are these values?

• No, it means that it was measured one time, as opposed to multiple times.

Geography, geology, and climate

• "Mouth should have been linked at first mention, under "Course".

• It's already linked in the infobox.

• I prefer a link in the main text as well, when I say first mention I do not consider the infobox... Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 13:30, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Alright, we need not have the link if you don't wish to have it. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 12:45, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• How? I'm not sure conversion templates work on words.

• I see, it would lead to fearsome figures. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 10:17, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Are "lake", "swamp", "pond", "reservoir", "flooding" not too common to be linked?

• Removed one or two.

• "cubic feet per second" measurements need to be converted

• Done.

Biology

• per 100 milliliters Convert

• Non-metric units are pretty much never used for these kinds of things.

• I am not adamant on this, but should we not have a template here for the sake of consistency with all those we have included earlier? Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 10:26, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Meh, I guess. Just seems a little odd to me. --
