Larrys Creek[edit]

Notified: Ruhrfisch, WP Rivers, WP Pennsylvania noticed in March 2021

Review section[edit]

This 2006 promotion needs a touch of updating to get back to featured article criteria, but should overall be a fairly doable save. There's a sizable amount of uncited material in the plank road section, and there is some areas that need updating. For instance, "and it is still in operation as of 2007" is supported by a 1992 work and the lodge's dead GoDaddy site, so there's no indication in the sources if it's still open or not. "As of 2006, the club has 55 active and 15 honorary members (all male)." could also use updating, and the whole recreation section probably needs to be checked for datedness. The claim of "Larrys Creek is the largest creek in Lycoming County without its own watershed association" appears to be no longer accurate, based on this and this. The first PDF linked is only from 2011, but still suggests that the natural gas stuff in the article needs updating, with a reference to 38 gas pads in the watershed and an incident involving drilling mud getting into the stream. It also states that two of the tributaries of the creek are officially considered to have impaired water quality. This also mentions that it is illegal to put water from the natural gas operations into Larrys Creek, which would be interesting to add if a better source than a lesson plan could be found.

Thanks - I cwill work on it, but am fairly busy in real life (though I should be less busy in 2 to 3 weeks). My recollection is that the Plank Road material is mostly from the Landis article (back in the day I went to a library with a print copy and read that, and there is link to a re-typed version of the article given here for convenience). - Ruhrfisch ><>°° 03:40, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for being willing to work on this! If you need to take several weeks to work on the article, that's fine. Hog Farm Talk 04:41, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ruhrfisch has taken care of a good chunk of the uncited text. Hog Farm Talk 14:35, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Could we get an update on status here? Nikkimaria (talk) 02:32, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • The natural gas material needs updated (I've found stuff from 10 years ago that reflects a later state of things than the article, surely there's something more recent to update with but I don't know where to find it). The recreation section still needs some updating IMO as well. Hog Farm Talk 13:16, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • @Ruhrfisch: are you still working on this? Also, I noticed that there isn't a section talking about the flora and fauna of this tributary. Should this information be included? Z1720 (talk) 01:06, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move to FARC (which doesn't preclude further work). Ruhrfisch has only made about a half-dozen edits everywhere since April. Hog Farm Talk 13:32, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move to FARC No major edits since May, and I think a flora/fauna section should be included of the area, as I think that's typically a section in geography articles. Z1720 (talk) 22:13, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

FARC section[edit]

Issues raised in the review section include sourcing and comprehensiveness. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:44, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist - two significant edits since the FAR opened; needs updating in several areas. Hog Farm Talk 04:49, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist: Updates still needed, but nothing is happening. Z1720 (talk) 23:01, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist: No edits since May, still several claims "as of 2006" or "as of 2007" (and one "as of 2000"!) which need updates. Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk) 11:54, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
