 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough, long enough, QPQ performed, checks for copyvio reveals no problems, every paragraph has at least one inline citation. The hook is verified by an inline citation to a reliable source in the article. I recommend ALT1 below, which provides a little more background. N ORTH A MERICA 1000 11:12, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * ALT1: ... that in 1965, it was noted that despite summer droughts in the area, the Scotch Run tributary had never run dry for at least 52 years?
 * I like ALT1, but perhaps the word tributary should be removed. It's a bit redundant; every stream is a tributary of something. --Jakob (talk)  12:37, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I feel that use of the word informs the reader, whereas its omission leaves people guessing what it is (lake, river, pond, stream, etc). N ORTH A MERICA 1000 12:39, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, I suppose it cold work. --Jakob (talk)  12:42, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
