... that black rails live on Tule Island? Source: "Sacramento, San Joaquin Delta Feasibility Report and Water Resource Study: Environmental Impact Statement". September 2, 1982
- ALT1:... that ...? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)

Comment: If you can think of a better hook than this, I'm all ears. QPQ will be forthcoming soon.

5x expanded, no copyvio issues, hook is interesting and fine as it is.... I didn't know what a black rail or Tule Island was. Hook is in article and followed by citation to a reference that requires subsription. Fern Island is red-linked 3 times... suggest adjusting. Ping me when QPQ done please.

Comments

Similar to the other small island article, this feels too short to be a good article but we'll go with the flow and see what we get.
- I think it might be a stretch for this one; I scoured existing references pretty well, but I could try to come up with some more.
"farm potatoes, which now consists mostly" perhaps "but which now" or "and which".
- Y Have copyedited this sentence a little.
"USGS aerial imagery ..." fragment, no full stop.
- Y Fixed.
" City of Stockton" why is "City" capitalised?
- Y No particularly good reason, fixed.
"as a fishing location" you didn't link fishing in the lead?
- Y Sure, why not.
"the 1959 musical" no need for that year.
- Y Fixed.
"Fern-Headreach-Tule complex" what is that?
- Y Added some description in "Geography".
"The Modesto Bee" The is part of the name.
- Y Fixed.
"$5 to $6 million" maybe $5–6 million. And inflate.
- Y Done.
Ref 6 SHOUTING.
- Y

Fixed. That's it. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 18:09, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
