• ... that black rails live on Tule Island? Source: "Sacramento, San Joaquin Delta Feasibility Report and Water Resource Study: Environmental Impact Statement". September 2, 1982
  • ALT1:... that ...? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)

• Comment: If you can think of a better hook than this, I'm all ears. QPQ will be forthcoming soon.

• 5x expanded, no copyvio issues, hook is interesting and fine as it is.... I didn't know what a black rail or Tule Island was. Hook is in article and followed by citation to a reference that requires subsription. Fern Island is red-linked 3 times... suggest adjusting. Ping me when QPQ done please.

Comments

• Similar to the other small island article, this feels too short to be a good article but we'll go with the flow and see what we get.
  • I think it might be a stretch for this one; I scoured existing references pretty well, but I could try to come up with some more.
• "farm potatoes, which now consists mostly" perhaps "but which now" or "and which".
  • Y Have copyedited this sentence a little.
• "USGS aerial imagery ..." fragment, no full stop.
  • Y Fixed.
• " City of Stockton" why is "City" capitalised?
  • Y No particularly good reason, fixed.
• "as a fishing location" you didn't link fishing in the lead?
  • Y Sure, why not.
• "the 1959 musical" no need for that year.
  • Y Fixed.
• "Fern-Headreach-Tule complex" what is that?
  • Y Added some description in "Geography".
• "The Modesto Bee" The is part of the name.
  • Y Fixed.
• "$5 to $6 million" maybe $5–6 million. And inflate.
  • Y Done.
• Ref 6 SHOUTING.
  • Y

Fixed. That's it. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 18:09, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
