Article is new and meets all DYK rules. Hook is well referenced. Good to go.--Nvvchar. 20:04, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

The first 2 paragraphs under History and first paragraph under Other park features lack at least one citation each, per DYK rules. Also, tallasi is spelled differently in the hook and in the article. Yoninah (talk) 21:33, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Yoninah: Thanks for your comments. I have added in-line citations for the paragraphs indicated. I have changed the hook to the single l form to be consistent. There seem to be multiple spellings for the Creek name, but talasi is apparently the most common. The Creeks did not have a written language at that time, so writers usually wrote down what they thought they heard. Even English writers did not follow standardized spelling rules then.
