Talk:River Rother, West Sussex

Assessment
I have assessed the article against the criteria for B-class. In order to meet these, the following points need to be addressed. I am therefore rating it as C-class for the moment. Bob1960evens (talk) 19:51, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Suitably referenced, with inline citations
 * Reasonable coverage - no obvious omissions or inaccuracies
 * Defined structure, with adequate lead
 * Reasonably well written for grammer and flow
 * Supporting materials - Infobox, map, images
 * Appropriately understandable
 * The lead needs to be longer, to adequately summarise the contents. ✅
 * The hydrology section is unreferenced. ✅ section re-written and expanded.
 * As all issues have been addressed, I am now rating it as B-class. Bob1960evens (talk) 12:57, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Deleted text
I have removed the following from the article for the moment.
 * The river is partially fed by springs in the scarp slope of the chalk strata of the South Downs which flow at a constant volume and temperature throughout the year. This gives a more stable summer flow than is found in the upper reaches of the River Arun, which drains more clay soils. This steady flow powered several watermills along the river. The flour mill at Coultershaw, south of Petworth continued in operation until the 1960s, still partially water powered and collecting imported bread wheat from nearby Petworth railway station, which was then still open for goods only.

Although the "constant volume and temperature" is widely quoted on the internet, all mentions of it refer back to this article, and I cannot as yet find an authoritative ref for this. I am rewriting the hydrology section, so will reinstate it if I can find a source. Bob1960evens (talk) 00:04, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
 * The "more stable summer flow" if supported by CAMS (2003), but not the constant volume and temperature. Some details of Coultershaw mill are now included in the Route section. Bob1960evens (talk) 13:57, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
