A fact from Nanticoke Creek appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 29 March 2015 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Nanticoke Creek has been erroneously referred to as Lee's Creek, Miller's Creek, Robbins Creek, Bobbs Creek, Rummage Creek, and Warrior Run Creek?
Explain the term "impaired" for water bodies. It may not be apparent at first.
You link Askam Borehole in the main text. Repeat in lead.
Done.
Also explain acid mine drainage, or link it if possible. If linked elsewhere, remove the link and link it at first mention (here as well as in main text)
If possible try to link the locations mentioned. Not just in the lead, but also throughout the article.
That would result in an unsightly sea of redlinks.
You can combine paras 1, 2, 3 into one. Too many paragraphs look essay-like and may make the reader lose interest.
No, I cannot because it would be awfully long for a paragraph. Better to have some readers lose interest than have others unable to find what they're looking for.
I strongly suggest that you summarize the facts from the source and clearly state the implications. Try to include lesser number of values. That should make the section more informative in its briefness.
The information is cited to reliable sources and about the creek, so it's staying in.
Geography, geology and climate
It is at the southwestern end of that coal basin. "The" would be better than "That". Link basin.
No, because that leaves open the question of which coal basin. Linked.
What is the meaning of synclinal?
Linked.
What is a mine pool?
It should be self-evident.
If you link rock formations here then also do so in the lead.
Okay.
Too many redlinks. Omit them and do add explanations of terms that could not be linked.
Some were removed.
Once again do not go for so many paragraphs. By the
MOS you should summarize details.
Once again, the information is useful in making the article comprehensive.
Watershed
Wilkes-Barre should be linked at first mention. Did you mean west Wilkes-Barre when you wrote "Wilkes-Barre West"? If yes then you should write it as I have.
It already is linked at the first mention of Wilkes-Barre. Wilkes-Barre West is a separate thing, i.e. a USGS quadrangle. And I did not mean "west Wilkes-Barre".
Most of the watershed of Nanticoke Creek (67.3 percent) I think "most" is redundant when you already mention the percentage.
I think it flows better as is.
History and etymology
Nanticoke tribe sounds better than Nanticoke People.
There simply isn't any information that can be added without original research and/or synthesis. Though it's probably sometime in the 18th century. It does not sound vague.
However, its current name was appearing on maps as early as 1776. Better write "its current name started appearing since as early as 1776".
I think the current wording is fine.
Who are Bradsby, Mason F. Alden and John Alden? You need to identify them.
They're not exactly notable, so I don't.
But it does seem weird when you suddenly have names popping up before you in the article. Even if they are insignificant something should be said about them. I request you to do so.

I think it would sound more weird if I started talking about random people in the middle of an article on a creek. An article doesn't need to delve into every term it mentions.
Mining does not need a link, at least not when you do not add it in the beginning of the article or elsewhere.
Unlinked.
Please summarize. Too many paras do not look good.
It's supposed to be comprehensive, again.
Biology
Fish is too common to be linked.
Unlinked.

Added.
References : there seems to be some trouble with citation 4.
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Nanticoke Creek. Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{
cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{
