Orphaned references in Mahoning Creek (Susquehanna River)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Mahoning Creek (Susquehanna River)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "tmdl": From Sechler Run:  From Kipps Run:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 23:56, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Citation issues

 * A good citation to a map should note the scale of the map, as well as the series, if applicable. Citation can't handle map-specific details, but cite map can, and with cs2, it can appear in the same style.
 * A good citation to Google Maps should include a link that takes the reader directly to the map that was consulted. Any editor can export a URL for the map he or she viewed by clicking the gear icon and selecting "Share or embed map". From there, a dialog box will pop up allowing the editor to copy and paste that URL into the url in google maps; to get the CS2-based output, again add cs2.
 * Access dates should be full dates, not just years. The idea behind providing it is so we can demonstrate both a date when it's known that the link worked, or to provide an analog to a publication date for online sources lacking actual publication dates. For sources, like Google Books-republished books, that are unlikely to go dead that contain a date of original publication, an access date is a bit superfluous, but many editors add them anyway for consistency. With a source like Google Maps, the access date becomes the publication date as well.
 * For cases where we consult copies of books on the Google Books website, we should still provide place of publication and publisher details, plus the page number(s) consulted. Adding Google Books is another nice touch.
 * It is also beneficial to include ISBN or OCLC identifiers because Google does not always allow all readers to see the full book based on the location of the readers' IP addresses or other considerations. If a reader is not allowed to see the full text, the identifier number makes it easier to locate a print copy in a library. The identifier numbers can be found through the "Get this book in print"/"Find in a library" link provided on every Google Books item.
 * I do prefer to keep the citations consistent, but it's no longer citing Google Maps anyway. As for the ISBN, I don't think ISBNs existed a century ago (when the book sources were written). As for the access date, I no longer remember exactly what date I accessed the sources. I guess it was sometime in June or July 2013. The newer sources have access dates. --Jakob (talk)  aka Jakec  13:12, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
