Comments

 * General
 * Images are all fine--some of them are quite beautiful. No licensing issues.
 * No edit wars, article is stable.
 * No POV problems.


 * Streamflow
 * You could lose the phrase "It is worth noting that" without changing the meaning of the sentence. Same with "Also of note is". Just including these facts in an encyclopedia article testifies to their noteworthiness.
 * Done Shann  o  n  00:36, 7 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Native Americans
 * It's a little confusing where you say "Their name for the Trinity River was hun' simply meaning "river"." But then in the next sentence "The origin of their name for the Trinity River, Hoopa or Hupa, is uncertain." So, which was the river's name, "hun'" or "Hoopa"?
 * Fixed. It seemed to be missing a sentence there.  Shann  o  n  00:36, 7 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Post-Gold Rush settlement
 * "The Forest Service was criticized for mismanaging timber lands in the area...." Who criticized them?


 * I added the names of the environmental groups who filed a lawsuit, and a source. Shann  o  n  00:21, 9 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Sources
 * Are footnotes 20 and 55 the same source? If so, the notes could be combined.


 * Fixed. Shann  o  n  00:21, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

This is an excellent article and, once these minor issues are resolved, I look forward to promoting it to Good Article. --Coemgenus (talk) 14:13, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
