Hi! I will be reviewing this. Sainsf &lt;^&gt; Feel at home 07:59, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Lead

 * A minor river also flows in to the Northwest Arm, Little West River, from which Grand Lake, a large lake west of Sheet Harbour empties in to the arm. I find this confusing. Could be clearer and maybe split into two lines.
 * Port, pulp, Hurricane Beth, East River could be linked
 * It was named the East River Bridge, named after it predecessor Can "named" not be repeated?
 *  (see distance chart) Need not be included in the lead. You have it in the main text
 * both start/end in Sheet Harbour What does this mean?
 * Hospital is too common to be linked
 *  Tom McInnis, a Conservative Party politician, resides in Sheet Harbour Include this in the main text as well if not done yet. Let the citation remain only in the main text.

Location

 * Link the terms linked in the lead here as well. No problem in repeating links from the lead
 * Sheet Harbour is a small rural community located on the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia, in the eastern third of the Halifax Regional Municipality. Source?
 * The first line could be combined with the following para
 * Can "inland" be linked or explained?
 * Census Tract 2050154.00 What does this mean?
 * as of the 2011 Census census of which location? Nova Scotia or Sheet Harbour?
 * Sheet Harbour is located  Perhaps "The Sheet Harbour community" so as not to get confused with the following "Sheet Harbour" in the line?
 * Link saltwater, erode, Atlantic Ocean, tide

Harbour

 * Can we merge "Geography" into this? There is repetition
 * Don't link Atlantic if already done as requested in the earlier section
 * Link the terms linked in the lead here as well. No problem in repeating links from the lead
 * Atlantic Ocean is linked twice in this section
 * I think the description is slightly repetitive and could be shortened. The flow has been described in the 2nd para, and in some greater detail in the next. Merge them.
 * Sheet Rock is discussed later on but not here. It should be introduced only at the first mention.

Rivers

 * Link Lake Alma
 *  carry water from 22 metres elevation convert template
 * Link or explain lime doser, acid rain
 * It was successful in lowering the acid levels in the river It could be merged into the previous line
 * Duplicate links: Route 224, Route 374

History

 * ''was granted in 1773' Why "granted"?
 * Weijooik, which translates to  What was the original language for the name?
 * Port North as late as 1807 You mean "till" as late as 1807?
 * No need to link rock here
 * What is sulphide pulp? Link or explanation?
 * The lead does not say "sulphide" pulp mill.

Industry

 * The economy of Sheet Harbour is primarily based on fishery and forestry, as well as tourism, to a lesser extent. Source?
 *  They were formed more  What are "they"?
 * Link wood chips, wind turbine, natural gas, draught
 * Duplinks: Trunk 7, North America

Activities

 * Can you write these points in two or at most three paras? I do not really like the listy look of this section
 * We need sources for each point in the section.

Transportation

 *  Route 374 and Route 224 with Trunk 7 Each of these is a duplink
 * The roads in the area are a mixture of both paved and unpaved roads. There are also many ATV trails/hauling roads in the area. There are no 100-series highways that run through or near Sheet Harbour. Source?
 * A new bridge was built across the Northeast Arm in 2015, to replace the East River Bridge. Source?
 * Duplinks: East River Bridge, sidewalk
 *  but it was decided that  By whom?
 * least two times "twice"?
 * Link rebar
 * 2,260 cubic metres Convert
 * Demolition is expected to be complete sometime in 2016 "sometime" is unnecessary.
 * Are there sources for each point in the table? I am not sure if Google Maps can be used as a reliable source.

Amenities

 * Overlinking is prominent; please remove links for common terms.
 * Keep numbers less than 10 in words.
 * There are two schools in Sheet Harbour: Sheet Harbour Consolidated Elementary School (SHCS), and Duncan MacMillan High School (DMHS). Do not leave this unsourced
 * Don't link wind turbine here if linked earlier as I requested

 * No need for the "Navigator" heading.
 * Duplinks: Nova Scotia Government, Halifax Port Authority, Watt Section, Trunk 7, Spry Bay, Nova Scotia, Taylor Head Provincial Park, Atlantic Ocean, Sheet Harbour Consolidated Elementary School, Duncan MacMillan High School.

That should be all. Good luck! Sainsf &lt;^&gt; Feel at home 10:26, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Sources: I think the only trouble is with the Google Maps source. It is not appropriate enough for our purpose here. Sainsf &lt;^&gt; Feel at home 17:26, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

I think I have resolved all of the issues with the article so far. Also, there is no article about East River. JakeR (talk) 19:49, 23 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I find only a few issues now, I will list them:
 * West River Bridge provides a great view of the falls. (Rivers section) Could seem to be original research. Omit reword this.
 * Two major rivers, one minor river and several small streams empty into the harbour. West River flows into the Northwest Arm, and East River empties into the Northeast Arm. Do not leave this unsourced, lest someone should add a "citation needed" tag there. They do not look good in GAs!
 * I have never heard of the "head" of a river. Could this be explained or reworded?
 * by Chisholm and McFarlane, Rhodes and Currie Who are they (History section)
 * The mill closed in January 1891, due to the high costs of importing sulphide from the United States. The site is now occupied by the Wildlife Centre and a campground. A stone monument commemorates the pulp mill.  No source?
 * A plan is in the works (Schools) Since when?
 * But, ECS is currently closed, due to zero student enrollment You should typically refrain from using words like "currently". Always mention the year like As of 2015.
 * That should be all. These done, I would be happy to promote this as GA. Sainsf  &lt;^&gt; Feel at home 03:31, 24 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I am positive that i've resolved all of the article's remaining issues. JakeR (talk) 18:43, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Great job! The article meets all the GA criteria now. It has sufficient and credible sources, no copyright violations were detected, the prose looks better no and the images look good. I am happy to promote this. I would love to see more GAs from you in the future! Sainsf  &lt;^&gt; Feel at home 18:56, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
