Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of tributaries of Larrys Creek
- The following is an archived discussion of a featured list nomination. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the article's talk page or in Wikipedia talk:Featured list candidates. No further edits should be made to this page.
The list was promoted 06:09, 13 April 2008.
List of tributaries of Larrys Creek is a complete list of all 42 named tributaries of Larrys Creek, a stream in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania. It has two shorter lists for the tributaries of the two major tributaries, the First and Second Forks. It has had a very helpful peer review, which is here, that found no major problems. The suggestions for improvement have all been addressed and I believe the list meets the criteria for featured list candidates. Note that this list falls under criterion 1.a.3: contains a finite, complete and well-defined set of items that naturally fit together to form a significant topic of study, and where the members of the set are not sufficiently notable to have individual articles.
Since the tables are 100% of the possible width, there is not room for pictures in them, nor are there pictures for most of the streams listed. I have instead used a gallery to show thumbnail images of four streams. This use of a gallery follows the model of three Featured Lists: List of Pennsylvania state parks, List of municipalities in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, and List of municipalities in Sullivan County, Pennsylvania.
This is a self-nomination in that I am the editor who has worked the most on this list (and the Larrys Creek article), but I want to thank Dincher, The ed17, The Rambling Man, and Pete for all of their help. Thanks in advance for all input, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:24, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support This list is very comprehensive, thoroughly researched and referenced. It might not the be most notable creek in the world, but good work is good work and this is work is pretty darned good. Dincher (talk) 02:28, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the support and kind words Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:33, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support glad to have been of service at the peer review and all my issues were well dealt with there so I have no reservations whatsoever in supporting this. Good work. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:17, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for your support and kind words, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 20:26, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I think it would be better to use {{sort}} in the table, because all of the items in inverted commas are at the top when sorted alphabetically. weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 19:28, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Excellent idea - I have made the change in all three tables and it works on my computer (sorts properly now). Thanks! Ruhrfisch ><>°° 20:26, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support then. Well done! weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 09:38, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment
- Nice list, though I think the headers could be done differently, by making "Main stem tributaries", "First Fork tributaries" and "Second Fork tributaries" should all be H3.-- ṃ•α•Ł•ṭ•ʰ•Ə•Щ• @ 23:36, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Changed accordingly, thanks Ruhrfisch ><>°° 23:41, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- One more thing, unlink the bold text in the lead, per WP:LEAD#Bold title, and I think I'll be ready to support. -- ṃ•α•Ł•ṭ•ʰ•Ə•Щ• @ 00:12, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for catching that - it has been reverted Ruhrfisch ><>°° 00:44, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Support Nice job! Dhaluza (talk) 00:11, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks so much Ruhrfisch ><>°° 00:51, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support: Very impressed with the first version I saw, and with all the ensuing improvements. The suggestion above to use H3 headers was a really good idea, and makes the article's structure much easer to grasp at a glance. Excellent work all around! (That {{sort}} template looks really useful, too -- I'll have to figure out how to use that!) -Pete (talk) 18:14, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks very much, one reason I wrote the list was to be a model article for presenting information on tributaries in a watershed, so I hope it is useful for smaller streams and perhaps could give ideas for larger ones as well. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 18:58, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
