Comments

~~"The creek is in approved trout waters" is a bit confusing, I assume you mean that the creek is approved trout waters?~~
- Removed "in". ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 20:53, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
~~Ref 6 has only 14 pages, yet the listed page numbers are 76, 78, and 80.~~
- I fixed the link. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 21:13, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - ~~AFAICT the reference is unchanged. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 21:21, 3 August 2015 (UTC)~~[reply]
    - What? ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 21:29, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      - My mistake. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 21:38, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"According to a report by the Geological Society of Pennsylvania, the exposures 'are not numerous however in the vicinity of Ithan creek'" why not simply say "the exposures are rare in the vicinity of Ithan Creek" or even "According to a report by the Geological Society of Pennsylvania, the exposures are rare in the vicinity of Ithan Creek"?
- Reworded. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 20:51, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
~~The third paragraph of the geography an geology section does not appear to be supported by any of the listed pages in ref 8.~~
- Fixed the page numbers. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 21:13, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - ~~Okay, but from the map, it seems that Chester-Glenlg-Manor is the only soil association in the creek's vicinity.~~

--Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 21:21, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- - There is a small amount of Neshaminy soil on the edge of the watershed. I have rephrased. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 21:29, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
~~Ref 9 should have page numbers~~
- Added. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 21:13, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"In 1826, an official report stated the following about mills on the creek:" again, why not paraphrase in your own words?
- Its more of a personal preference. I like quoting an actual old document. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 20:51, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - Okay. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 21:21, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
~~Is there any more hydrology information?~~
- I couldn't find anything other than it's not impaired. But then again you are better with that kind of stuff. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 20:51, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - I had a cursory look myself and didn't see anything obvious. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 21:21, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
