Feedback from Classmates
A couple of notes from reading over the article: Good job so far! --|SeaMonsterFromTheDeep
 * 1) In the first sentence, the word 'typical' is confusing. Typical to what? This modifier should probably by removed if it cannot be explained better: "Yaquina Bay (/jəˈkwɪnə/ yə-KWIN-ə) is a typical coastal estuarine comnunity"
 * 2) The sentence "The Yaquina Bay in Newport is a popular tourist destination along the Pacific Coast Highway, with a variety of interesting biological and geological features." should exclude the last part "with a variety of interesting biological and geological features". It is a broad statement that is not fact.
 * 3) In the section 'Economy' and the sentence "As of 2014, the highest percentage of the Newport workforce is employed in management, business, science, and arts (36.7%), while only 8.9% are employed in natural resources, construction, and maintenance.", please include the percentages for management, business, and science.
 * 4) In the section 'Upwelling', please provide one or two sources for the claims.
 * 5) In the 'Physical Characteristics' section, consider adding more information about the stratification of the estuary. That's important for biological factors. To start, check out this paper, particularly the paper's Methods: Study Area subheading. (Lemagie, E. P. & Lerczak, J. A. A Comparison of Bulk Estuarine Turnover Timescales to Particle Tracking Timescales Using a Model of the Yaquina Bay Estuary. Estuaries and Coasts 38, 1797–1814 (2015).)
 * 1) Hello! What a clean and professional looking page! I'm wondering if you really need subheadings under History of Yaquina Bay and Environmental concerns section. I think it would be fine to just have your content directly under the top level heading. Cheers! Cold water kid (talk) 19:08, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Thanks! That is an impressive contribution.  I see there is some minor work needed, mostly style issues like capitalization and punctuation goes before a   construction, not after.  But all in all, a very valuable series of contributions!   Thank you!  —EncMstr (talk) 02:00, 2 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Thank you! Style issues duly noted. I'll work on that right now. Huynhsa (talk) 17:12, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
