 * 1) Shouldn't the lead state its full 150-mile length?
 * 2) In discharge, why is 1941 to 2013 reported when the flow changed significantly in 1978?


 * Thanks for picking this review up! I've gone and addressed the comments so far. Shannon [ Talk ] 22:27, 27 November 2017 (UTC)


 * No problem, the article is great. I'm ready to go, but will leave this open a couple of weekdays for others to chime in. - Mnnlaxer &#124; talk  &#124; stalk 00:22, 28 November 2017 (UTC)


 * You really made the hydro dam map? What's the source file and/or what did you add? Not trying to police copyright, rather I'm very impressed and would like to see how it's done. - Mnnlaxer &#124; talk  &#124; stalk 20:14, 28 November 2017 (UTC)


 * I used GIS data from the US Geological Survey (National Map) and put it together using Adobe Illustrator. Thanks, haha- I do make all my maps myself. Shannon [ Talk ] 05:00, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

Idea for discussion. The History section doesn't have anything in it after 1900. I know there is history told through the following sections. But I wonder if there is some 20th century history that doesn't fit in these categories. Was there any native population in the area in the 20th century? Any noteworthy people have a connection? I don't think a long or detailed sub-section is needed. But it feels like the History section ends prematurely. - Mnnlaxer &#124; talk  &#124; stalk 22:22, 28 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Yeah, now I notice that omission - I think the fate of the Native Americans after 1900 is worth discussing, I'm fairly certain some still live in the area (there are places called Mi-wuk Village and the like). I'll do some research and add that to the Native Americans section. Shannon [ Talk ] 05:00, 30 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Actually, I would add a fourth section, 20th Century, contemporary, or some descriptive phrase if you find a good theme. But make it a separate chrono section rather than add material to the end of the other three. You could start by pulling some sentences about dams and water resource fights, just focus it on the history rather than technical details. And there has to be an interesting person or two that lived there or was involved with the river country in some way or another. My preference would be to give a brief overview of the current "history" of the area rather than dig into a specific topic. - Mnnlaxer &#124;  talk  &#124; stalk 16:03, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

Sounds good, I'm going to pass it now. Great work. - Mnnlaxer &#124; talk  &#124; stalk 15:46, 30 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Sorry for the late reply; I've been busy. This will probably take a while since there's a lot of research to be done, but I'll have it up soon... hopefully. Cheers, Shannon [ Talk ] 01:55, 5 December 2017 (UTC)


 * No problem, it's still a GA without the addition. Take your time. - Mnnlaxer &#124; talk  &#124; stalk 03:44, 5 December 2017 (UTC)


 * any luck finding any interesting people or events in the 20th century for the History section? I wouldn't worry about well-connected long paragraphs with copious references. Even one or two sentences for each interesting item that basically use wikilinks to people, events, or things to act like references would be good additions. - Mnnlaxer &#124;  talk  &#124; stalk 04:58, 28 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Hey there- my apologies as I've been very busy over the holiday season, haven't been on Wikipedia much. I am planning to update the article soon. And a belated happy new year! Shannon [ Talk ] 05:39, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
