Prose

 * Can add a sentence or two in the lead
 * Done. jp×g 06:38, 17 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Chain Island's coordinates are 38°04′11″N 121°51′11″W. —
 * Fixed. jp×g 06:38, 17 January 2022 (UTC)


 * The United States Geological Survey gave Chain Island's elevation as 0 ft (0 m) in 1981 — do we really need to convert 0 ft?
 * No. Fixed. jp×g 06:38, 17 January 2022 (UTC)


 * although it is designated by the State of California — why not just "California"?
 * Well, "California" would be fairly vague (random people in California? the land itself?) whereas "State of California" refers to its government. jp×g 06:38, 17 January 2022 (UTC)


 * As of 2014, sturgeon fishing at Chain Island was still good. — what is "still good" supposed to mean? bit vague ...
 * on an 1850 expedition — should be "during an 1850 expedition"
 * War Department — should be linked to United States Department of War
 * by State of California engineers — why not just "California"?
 * As above (the state government specifically employed them; they weren't just normal engineers who happened to be from California). jp×g 06:38, 17 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Could link capitalists
 * Sure. It seems that this phrase is being used in a very different sense than the modern meaning (i.e. a proponent of capitalism), here it is being used to mean something like what we'd now call a "venture capitalist". jp×g 06:42, 22 January 2022 (UTC)


 * California's gold rush — should be "California gold rush"
 * Done. jp×g 06:42, 22 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Sacramento–San Joaquin river system — I'm not sure, but should 'R' bu capitalized?
 * I'm not sure either, but I think this capitalization is correct -- it's a "Sacramento–San Joaquin" "river system", not a "Sacramento–San Joaquin River" "system". jp×g 06:42, 22 January 2022 (UTC)


 * by the United States Geological Survey — I'd remove 'United States'
 * United States Geological Survey is a proper name, so it has to be given in full. jp×g 06:42, 22 January 2022 (UTC)


 * The value in inflation template is "as of 2020", not 2022. Using the would be wrong.
 * Fixed. jp×g 06:42, 22 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Anything after 1959 to add in the article?
 * Sadly, none that I could find. jp×g 06:42, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
