Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sugarloaf Creek, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Impoundment.

I think the work you are doing on the streams of PA is amazing. Do you plan on doing SE PA as well? I saw dead links for Buck Run and Doe Run as well as minimal data around here?
 * Hi, . I'm mainly working on tributaries of the Susquehanna River atm, but I'll see what I can do about Buck Run and Doe Run. It would make it easier if I knew what county/counties they were in; do you know? --Jakob (talk)  17:29, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Run Creek DYK
Jake, I had a look on your other creek articles and found them much more appealing. Take Raven or mahoney, there is a more cultural and usage background with those, as well the pictures give some flavor. Thats what I mean with "Love", which imho is sort of lacking at Davis Run. Btw, I saw sometimes as well German "Flurnamen" as in the Nuremburg quadrangle or Schwaben creek (me and my last nomininee (Dominik_Kuhn) are living in the "original". that would be useful for hooks and enhancements as well. Cheers  Serten (talk) 13:29, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Love is not a DYK criterion. I also don't believe that the entire article has to be interesting for DYK (just the hook). --Jakob (talk)  13:40, 14 October 2014 (UTC)


 * I will ask that on the DYK:talkpage. Serten (talk) 23:01, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Kazipur River
That's wonderful detective work that you did on Kazipur River! I'm still amazed at how it had so little Web presence that it seemed to not exist. I can't see the text of the O'Malley source that you found, so have to ask you this: "thana" is ambiguous, since it refers both to a police station and to the geographic area served by the police station. Thanas have mostly been upgraded to upazilas (sub-districts), and often the boundaries have changed, making them either larger or smaller. The text currently reads "The Kazipur River historically flowed past the Kazipur Police Station", so I wonder if it flowed past the actual police station building, or if it flowed along the boundary of the area served by the police station. Are you able to figure out which the book is referring to? This has been a great collaboration, I've been extremely frustrated by the maps in Banglapedia, but realizing now that the lines probably don't mean anything outside the area they are considering could make quite a lot of difference (of course, the rivers themselves move around a lot as well, just to make it more frustrating). Sminthopsis84 (talk) 13:30, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm actually unsure, but I'd be perhaps the book is referring to the area served by the police station. The book says that it flows through the area, which would make more sense if it was an administrative division than a building. --Jakob (talk)  14:02, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Thank you vey much Jake for the review. I replied at the template. Btw, I disturbed you here because pinging does not work in template space. For example, I didn't get yours from there. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 01:57, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

DYK/Dmitri Borgmann
Hello, Jakec. Thanks for reviewing Template:Did you know nominations/Dmitri Borgmann. The article's recently been relisted for deletion due to lack of participation in the AfD, thus further holding up the DYK. As you're the only editor outside the AfD to have expressed any opinion on whether or not the article as rewritten meets our core content policies, could I suggest that you give your assessment on the AfD as well? —Psychonaut (talk) 07:27, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Done. --Jakob (talk)  11:45, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Lake Chillisquaque
The article Lake Chillisquaque you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Lake Chillisquaque for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

Eric is not confused
Happy to explain if necessary.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  15:19, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Please do. --Jakob (talk)  15:20, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Eric isn't really making a comment about Jack directly, and arguably it is a back-handed support. Eric is very unhappy about some of the WMF initiatives, and is convinced that the goal is something other than improving Wikipedia as an encyclopedia. In that mindset, if you think that the "new" goal" of Wikipedia is something other than content, and someone is up for RfA who may be able to help with content, an Oppose is a way of commenting on the WMF priorities.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  15:54, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * It's also a textbook example of disrupting Wikipedia to prove a point. —Psychonaut (talk) 15:58, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Small problem with DYK nom
Hi, I just reviewed Klingermans Run and Cranberry Run. The articles looked fine, apart from a problem with Cranberry Run. It has a sub-section dealing with Stranger Hollow, with no explanation given. Was this a mistaken copy-paste error from your Stranger Hollow nomination? Regardless, clear that issue up and the articles can move forward to the main page.
