I'll get to this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:27, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

• No DABs and external links OK
• Image appropriately licensed.
• Needs a map to locate the creek in PA.

• Done, though it makes the infobox a big long.

• However, dirt roads and gravel roads, and several stream crossings in the watershed. Missing a verb.

• Fixed.

• Hammersley Fork joins Kettle Creek 19.90 square miles (51.5 km2) upstream of its mouth. Move this into the preceding paragraph. Also, the unit is wrong; needs to be distance. not area.

• Fixed.

• 11 to 15 milligrams Provide a conversion into English units.

• Done.

• Put the English units first by adding "disp=flip" to the conversion template.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:24, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

• Done. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 00:53, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

• Don't think that you need the links for coarse sand and fine gravel.

• Fixed.

• The stream experiences relatively high water temperatures. Awkward, fold into the succeeding sentence.

• Done.

• its temperature between Dry Hollow and Bunnell Run 68 to 72 °F Missing a verb.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:24, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

• Done.

• The sediment load in Hammersley Fork is 0.27 pounds (0.12 kg) per acre per year. The nitrogen load is 1.55 pounds (0.70 kg) per acre per year, while the phosphorus load is less than half a pound per acre per year. It's great that you've got metric oncversions of the weights, but what about the area (hectares)?

• Added.

• What does Rosgen type F, etc. mean?

• Added clarifying note. And I may write an article on it as well.

• Be consistent in using metric or English measurements. And spell meters the American way by adding "|sp=us" to the conversion template.

• Done.

• Not entirely. Check more carefully that you're using English measurements first.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:24, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

• See above. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 00:53, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

• Your eye slid right over all of those in the geography section.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:01, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

• Huh, I thought there was more than one messed-up convert template. Should be fixed now. BTW, if you have time, would you be able to check out Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of tributaries of Shamokin Creek/archive1? --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 01:06, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

• I'll try, but no promises as I'm more focused on the WP:GA Cup.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:28, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

• Geographic Names Information System on August 2, 1979. Its identifier in the Geographic Names Information System is 1199877 Combine these.

• Done.

• I went in and deleted the second use of GNIS; it's bad form to use them so close together.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:24, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

• If the T545 bridge was repaired in '10, why is it closed?

• Apparently, it was closed before it was repaired and is now not closed. Fixed.

• box beam or girders bridge Pick one or the other. Are these bridges the same ones mentioned in the Geography section?

• See the source, the bridge type literally is "box beam or girders".

• Understood, but use one name only, like people do.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:24, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

• Or none at all, seeing as it's pretty much impossible to accurately pick one or the other. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 00:53, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

• Overlink on trout. Are wild trout different than native trout?

• Fixed.

• Spell out the redlink for PDNI.

• Done.

• In general. you've got too many single-sentence paragraphs. Fold these into the other paragraphs in the section if at all possible.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:41, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

• • There are no more single-sentence paragraphs. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 19:25, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
