- ALT1:... that Acorn Creek enters the Chattahoochee River at the Brevard Fault, a geological scar characterized by rock units which outcrop rarely more than 600 feet in width, but are at least 80 miles long? Source: ^[2]

@Gulbenk and Gilliam: New enough and large enough expansion. QPQ present. ALT0 is cited to source which appears and checks out. ALT1 checks out but feels a bit indirect as the source itself says nothing of Acorn Creek. Could the paragraph on William McIntosh be a little less of a close paraphrase of the Carroll County Historical Society before I approve? Raymie (t • c) 03:56, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Raymie Thank you for undertaking this review. I'll get right on the William McIntosh section and should have that finished this PM. Meanwhile, I've edited the Geology section, to tie Acorn Creek more closely to the Brevard Fault. Gulbenk (talk) 11:52, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that "The Riverkeepers Guide to the Chattahoochee" has a link to Acorn Creek (or certainly McIntosh Reserve) in the section beginning at pages 117/119. That would tie ATL1 to the creek in a more solid way. But I am unable to pull that up online. While I've ordered the physical book, I don't think it will be here before the end of the week, and I certainly don't want you to have to wait that long to complete the review.

Raymie, I have reworded the sections of text related to the Carroll County Historical Society. Have a look, and see if that is sufficient, or if I should do more to improve the article. Thanks Gulbenk (talk) 22:32, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It looks good now! Raymie (t • c) 23:25, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
