Gardner Creek
[edit]- ... that the first gristmill and the first sawmill in Jenkins Township, Pennsylvania were both built on Gardner Creek?

New article, long enough, article is well-sourced, hook facts checked, & QPQ checked. I think it would be appropriate to wikilink gristmill (not a common term), sawmill (many people should know this, but probably good to wikilink for balance with gristmill), and the location Jenkins Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. In my opinion, the way the location appears as three segments looks odd. A quick web search for just "Jenkins Township" (using parentheses to search for results with that exact phrase) and Pensylvania, suggests that this is the only "Jenkins Township" in PA. While I know that township is a subunit of a county, townships are really only common in the midwest & northeastern US and considering the many non-US wikipedia reader, I think it should be ok to use just "Jenkins Township, Pennsylvania" in the hook. Thus turning the hook into:
