Tanner Trail[edit]
Just had a major expansion. I would like to know if anything should be added, and it would be great if you are familiar with grading the article, to grade it because it is no longer a stub. Any other suggestions or comments would be great. Thanks.

- Some nice work. A few pointers:
- The lead is too short at only two sentences and does not sum up the article, nor would it stand in isolation on its own.
Done - I would place 'History' as the first subsection after the lead. Done
- The words 'the trail' occur more times than might be necessary, and some tweaking to the wording to lessen their frequency might help. Done
- The tone at times is inappropriate for an encyclopaedia article: "it still descends at a nice rate", "Please remember that the sand dunes to west are off-limits". Done
- http://www.bobspixels.com may not be a suitable source for citing from, being a personal website, though it makes a good external link. You can probably find the same information in printed form, and can cite from that instead.
- You might want to expand on 'History', for example: when was the trail officially recognised, and provided with protection? Have any books been written about the trail, and has it featured in any hiking documentaries, or on film?
- A map would be useful.
- The lead is too short at only two sentences and does not sum up the article, nor would it stand in isolation on its own.
- I hope these can be helpful. Regards, — BillC talk 10:07, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
