Comments
edit- "The section "history" should be the first section"
- Actually, the course section comes first on most river articles in the area, like Fishing Creek (North Branch Susquehanna River).
- "The article should need a map"
- Added one, although User:Kmusser could probably make a better one (like this one).
- "Should include wikilinks in infobox."
- Done
- "The last paragraph to the lead section needs a reliable reference"
- The lead section does not generally need references, see WP:LEAD.
- "The forests in the Buffalo Creek watershed are mostly deciduous hardwood, hemlock, and pine. needs a reference"
- The lead does not need references because it summarizes the article, which is referenced. This particular fact is repeated in the 3rd paragraph of the biology section and cited to reference #11.
- "To avoid a a long reflist, the reflist should be formatted with {{reflist|2}}"
- Done
The bison of Buffalo Creek
editI have reinforced my correction as to the etymology of this Buffalo Creek- indeed, as of other Buffalo Creeks. with references to Mark Catesby's well-known published plate (1747) and the Wikipedia page List of mammals of West Virginia, which has a paragraph of these bison. My edit was reverted by an editor unaware (as was his cited source) of the extinct subspecies Bison bison pennsylvanicus, the Eastern Wood Bison.--Wetman (talk) 18:29, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
