I rerated it C, but it has too many lists and photos to be rated B. Please see WP:MOS, Wikipedia:Image use policy.--Grahame (talk) 01:49, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cleaned it up, and edited down the number of photos used. DirtDigger 02:46, 1 April 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fvalzano (talk • contribs)

Overall[edit]

  • Prose, spelling and grammar are good.

  • Layout/structure of the article is good.
  • I have checked most of the linked references now - all are appropriately used.
  • Structure/layout of the article is fine.

Well done, I really enjoyed reviewing this article. I'm going to pass it. JSwho (talk) 04:14, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

History section[edit]

  • For the 1961-71 dam upgrade section - you should remove "bringing with them their families, cultural traditions and probably most impactful, their food".
   Done - DirtDigger (talk) 12:05, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the post office section, there is no need to mention "drawing in residents on a daily basis to share news and gossip".
   Done - DirtDigger (talk) 12:09, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Community section[edit]

  • No need to mention current club presidents.
   Done - DirtDigger (talk) 12:06, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • In attractions subsection, remove "well-regarded as an excellent".
   Done - DirtDigger (talk) 12:16, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • When you write "impressive width at its base" use another word other than impressive.
   Done - DirtDigger (talk) 12:16, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I will give more feed back soon and continue with the review. JSwho (talk) 02:37, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

References[edit]

You have a good, extensive list of references supporting your article. However, there are few issues with some of the references:

  • You need to add page numbers to the book/journal references where they are available.
   Done - DirtDigger (talk) 11:49, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • For references 86, 88-96, you need to add more specific dates and/or retrieved dates JSwho (talk) 02:05, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
   Done - DirtDigger (talk) 11:49, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
