Comments[edit]

Prose[edit]

  • Chain Island's coordinates are 38°04′11″N 121°51′11″W[1]. —
Fixed. jp×g 06:38, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • The United States Geological Survey gave Chain Island's elevation as 0 ft (0 m) in 1981 — do we really need to convert 0 ft?
No. Fixed. jp×g 06:38, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • although it is designated by the State of California — why not just "California"?
Well, "California" would be fairly vague (random people in California? the land itself?) whereas "State of California" refers to its government. jp×g 06:38, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • As of 2014, sturgeon fishing at Chain Island was still good. — what is "still good" supposed to mean? bit vague ...
  • on an 1850 expedition — should be "during an 1850 expedition"
  • War Department — should be linked to United States Department of War
  • by State of California engineers — why not just "California"?
As above (the state government specifically employed them; they weren't just normal engineers who happened to be from California). jp×g 06:38, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. It seems that this phrase is being used in a very different sense than the modern meaning (i.e. a proponent of capitalism), here it is being used to mean something like what we'd now call a "venture capitalist". jp×g 06:42, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • California's gold rush — should be "California gold rush"
Done. jp×g 06:42, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sacramento–San Joaquin river system — I'm not sure, but should 'R' bu capitalized?
I'm not sure either, but I think this capitalization is correct -- it's a "Sacramento–San Joaquin" "river system", not a "Sacramento–San Joaquin River" "system". jp×g 06:42, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • by the United States Geological Survey — I'd remove 'United States'
United States Geological Survey is a proper name, so it has to be given in full. jp×g 06:42, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • The value in inflation template is "as of 2020", not 2022. Using the {{CURRENTYEAR}} would be wrong.
Fixed. jp×g 06:42, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Anything after 1959 to add in the article?
Sadly, none that I could find. jp×g 06:42, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Images[edit]

References[edit]

  • Ref#1 — bare URL? format it.
Fixed. jp×g 06:42, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Don't mix {{citation}} with other cite-family templates (cite web, cite newspaper)
Fixed. jp×g 06:53, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ref#4 — missing publisher
I don't see which you are talking about. Reference #4 currently has | publisher = Sacramento Local Agency Formation Commission, and I don't see any other references without publishers. jp×g 06:53, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retrieved 24 February 2021 v. 1994-11-03 — inconsistent date format.
Fixed. jp×g 06:53, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Los Angeles Times should just be Los Angeles Times
Fixed. jp×g 06:53, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Various of cite-newspaper templates should be cite-news, but thats fine if you wish to keep it as it is.
Fixed. jp×g 06:53, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Most of the newspaper citations need "|via=Newspapers.com"
Fixed. jp×g 06:53, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That is it. Putting on hold. Consider removing the stub tag. It is a start-class article. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 16:06, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

All right, here we go. jp×g 02:08, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Do ping me when everything is done. I am willing to keep it open as long as you wish, given that changes would be made. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 15:19, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Kavyansh.Singh: What do you think of it now? jp×g 06:53, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@JPxG, I see "Cite error: A list-defined reference named "aaa99" is not used in the content (see the help page)." – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 19:03, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
