GA Review

Hello, I am Carbrera, and I'll be reviewing this article for possible good article submission.

Full review coming very soon. Carbrera (talk) 17:06, 03 April 2016 (UTC)

Infobox

 * Looks good; I usually have to add suggestions for the infobox!

Paragraph 1

 * You used "in" three times in the first sentence; could you replace with different words to end any repetition?
 * I don't know of any less awkward way to write it. --Jakob (talk)  aka Jakec  12:30, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Paragraph 2

 * What is the Greenwood Valley? You mention it, but in the way it sounds like the reader should already know what that is
 * It's just a valley? Tweaked word order slightly, though. --Jakob (talk)  aka Jakec  12:30, 4 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Please provide a link for "Pennsylvania Route 42"
 * Done.


 * Again, you used "in" three times in the third to last sentence; anyway to replace these words?
 * Done.

Paragraph 3

 * What is an "Exceptional Value Stream"?
 * Plus, should "Exceptional Value Stream" be in all CAPS?
 * It's an official designation, hence the title case. Specifically, the highest level of protection available in PA. --Jakob (talk)  aka Jakec  12:30, 4 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Reword the last sentence to be "Little Fishing Creek contains parts that are suitable to canoe on." Does that sound any better?
 * Reworded.

Paragraph 1

 * Nothing here; great work!

Paragraph 2

 * There's no link for Columbia County here; care to add one?
 * Okay.

Paragraph 3

 * This is way too short; please just take it and add it to the previous paragraph
 * I don't really think it fits with the previous paragraph, unfortunately. --Jakob (talk)  aka Jakec  12:30, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Tributaries

 * You use "of" three times in this sentence couldn't "of the Little..." but switched into "on the Little..."? Let me know what you think...
 * Reworded, but not in that way.

Hydrology

 * The last two paragraphs (sentences) of this section should be added elsewhere because it looks like a list; WP is not a list
 * Some paras merged, which is I guess what you're suggesting.

Geography and geology

 * Once again, could some of the the statements in this section be added to other paragraphs? I'm sure they could
 * Done.


 * Otherwise, another good section! :)

Paragraph 1

 * The link for "quadrangle" should be used in its first mention; it is currently used in its second mention
 * I'm aware of it, and it's a tricky problem to solve. If I do what you suggest, then there are two links immediately adjacent to each other, which I'm pretty sure is also frowned upon. --Jakob (talk)  aka Jakec  12:30, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Paragraph 2

 * Reword to "The watershed of Little Fishing Creek is long compared to its width", removing "fairly"
 * Reworded, but not in that way.

Paragraph 4

 * Remove the link to "Pennsylvania Route 42"
 * Done, but not sure exactly why.


 * Remove the link to "Sullivan County"
 * Likewise.

Paragraph 1

 * "on August 2, 1979. Its identifier in the..." → "on August 2, 1979; its identifier in the..."
 * Why? Neither sentence is overly short, and that makes it a one sentence paragraph, which is also frowned upon.

Paragraph 3

 * Is the inclusion of the links for all of the bridges really necessary?
 * Um...there are only three. All of these have WP articles. --Jakob (talk)  aka Jakec  12:30, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Biology

 * Again, please try to combine some of the statements in this section because they are too short and look like part of a list
 * Done.

Recreation

 * Looks good! ;)

End of GA Review:
Looks like a very good article and surprising interesting. I would prefer that parts of the article be combined so it doesn't look like a list. I will put this article on hold for seven days. Thanks! Carbrera (talk) 00:48, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I've responded to all of your comments. --Jakob (talk)  aka Jakec  12:30, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
 * After reading the text again it makes sense. Thanks for your edits! Carbrera (talk) 20:50, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
