Tower Branch

(

... that Tower Branch runs near a tract of land home to nine Species of Special Concern in Pennsylvania?

Moved to mainspace by Jakec (talk). Self-nominated at 23:29, 14 July 2016 (UTC).

Hook is cited to a reputable organization that appears to, itself, be cited in media reports as such. New and minimum length requirements met. No copyvio. All other criteria okay. GTG. (As per a decision in ANI, this nomination requires two reviews.) LavaBaron (talk) 20:50, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
I support the article criteria, but would like to know if it's intentional that the hook is silent about Tower Branch being a river? The species (which I boldly linked) come rather unexpectedly for a reader who thought it's part of an organization ;) - If unwanted, it could be repaired by "runs" instead of "is", for example. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:09, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

It wasn't intended to be quirky; I've written lots of streams named "something branch": County Line Branch, Sullivan Branch, Lick Branch, Wasp Branch. I don't mind replacing "is" with "runs" though. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 20:19, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for changing "is" to "runs", - support LavaBaron's review, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:35, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
