Hi, I am beginning a review of this article. Initially, I found that the reference http://www.gulfbase.org/bay/view.php?bid=matagorda (ref 10) seems unaccessible. This is ok now. Xtzou ( Talk ) 12:15, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, there are several links that need disambiguation. http://toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py?page=Matagorda_Bay
 * There appear to be many common words that are linked, constituting overlinking.
 * Lead
 * "system's northwestern extension of Lavaca Bay" - Is Matagorda Bay considered a system?
 * "Port O'Connor is located on the southwestern tip of the main bay's shore." - what is meant by the "main bay"? Are there other bays, of which Matagorda Bay is considered the main?

 * The nominator and I have each done some editing. I feel any reservations I had about the GA status of the article have been satisfied. Xtzou ( Talk ) 17:27, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
