Hello! I'll be reviewing this article. My goal is to knock it out today. --Cerebellum (talk) 12:12, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

This was a fun article to review :) I'm amazed how gossipy the Napa Weekly Journal was! Pass, two minor suggestions for improvement below. --Cerebellum (talk) 16:26, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

Criteria

• Prose: Article is well written and complies with the MOS.
• References: Article is thoroughly referenced to high-quality sources. Great use of old newspapers to tell a fun story! I was concerned about the citations to maps in the last paragraph, I thought it might be OR. But after reading WP:MAPCITE I am convinced by the argument that describing what a map shows is not OR. I recommend removing ref #2 from the lead, it's not necessary and doesn't really support the first sentence since it doesn't say the island is submerged, and on the map it's labeled "NRU Pond 2".
• Coverage: Good, I recommend mentioning in the Geography section the size of the island.
• Neutral: Yes.
• Stable: Yes.
• Illustrated: Yes, images are correctly licensed and captioned. --Cerebellum (talk) 16:26, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
