[edit] Notes on this article
This article incorporates essentially all of the information I could find on Plunketts Creek, so if there are missing topics or details, I am not sure they can be found (although I am sure there are things I have not yet found out there). I have run the semi-automated peer review script on the article and it finds several apparent errors which are not actually there (as noted).
The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.
If there is not a free use image in the top right corner of the article, please try to find and include one.[?]
The images (two photos and a map) are all free.
Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space - between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 26ft, use 26 ft, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 26 ft.[?]
The "26ft" without a non-breaking space is in a URL in a reference and not an actual unit.
- Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)
While additive terms like “also”, “in addition”, “additionally”, “moreover”, and “furthermore” may sometimes be useful, overusing them when they aren't necessary can instead detract from the brilliancy of the article. This article has 17 additive terms, a bit too much.
The 17 additive terms includes the letters "also" in Loyalsock (Creek and State Forest), not the actual word "also".
- Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.[?]

[edit] GA pass
I have reviewed this article and feel that it meets all points of the good article criteria. The only small problem I could find was that there were a few times where the creek was called "Plunkett Creek" instead of Plunketts. If you want to see how this article could become a featured article then get it peer reviewed so other people can add their 2 cents. Congratulations. T Rex | talk 12:52, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- I found one missing "s" in opening sentence about the name. Dincher 00:04, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
