 * Symbol confirmed.svg Another easy GTG. I do have a question, though. What is the significance of saying that
 * A 1973 survey discovered no members of the Pteronarcyidae species Pteronarcys biloba on Wasp Branch.
 * If these were wasps, I'd understand. But they're not. EEng (talk) 03:56, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I happened to notice it while doing a Google search and figured it couldn't hurt to throw it in. --Jakob (talk)  00:53, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg I've pulled this from the prep area. There is no major issue, but I wanted to make sure there was time for discussion, rather than things been done against a clock. The hook confuses me slightly: I found the repetition of "Coldwater Fishery" and "Migratory Fishery" clunky, especially given the capital letters. I read the article, and then the PA DEP documents, and I can't work out what the difference between a designation and the existing use is? Is there a relevance to the repetition, or is this just bureaucracy? Either way, I don't find the hook at all interesting: a river is used for fishing, and has official designations relevant to that.

 * As the reviewer, I have to say I agree about the clunkiness and non-interstingness, but the fact is we gave up on hooks being "interesting" long ago. I would welcome a new effort to start enforcing that, and even have ideas for how that would work procedurally. EEng (talk) 22:22, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Coldwater Fishery, Migratory Fishery, and all those others are official designations, not descriptions, hence the capitalization. This explains the difference between designated and existing uses.
