My goal here is that when I'm done with 'rivers of bucks county', there is an article for every river, creek, stream, etc in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Some of my first articles were named with disambiguating political subdivisions in parantheses, but, I was browsing the categories such as rivers of PA, etc. and discovered that it would be better to name them by the principal rivers into which they flow. So, I moved each of them and updated the 'what links here' stuff. Let's see if you agree.
The content that is on this page is largely the kind of information posted to the user page. SeeWP:User pages andWP:User talk pages for more information about how to use these pages.–CaroleHenson (talk)15:44, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hello,
Thank you for your article about Reading Creek. I renamed it to Reading Creek (West Branch Neshaminy Creek) due to information fromsecondary sources, which is preferred over primary sources like Google maps which require a certain amount oforiginal research to interpret what is seen.
It is much better to get documents published by the state or federal government about water resources that state tributary relationships, etc. See the article for sources added to the article.
If you have any questions, please leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.–CaroleHenson (talk)15:49, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The articleArrowhead Spring Creek (Reading Creek) has beenproposed for deletion because of the following concern:
There are no reliable sources, including nothing at GNIS or the state natural resources site, for this creek. See discussion atWikipedia_talk:WikiProject Rivers#Arrowhead Spring Creek (Reading_Creek) and posting on the article talk page

IsMartins Creek (Delaware River, Bucks County) a different stream thanMartins Creek (Delaware River)?Gjs238 (talk)13:50, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I was surprised myself when I researched to move my article to live that there was another one on the Delaware.Martins Creek (Delaware River) is a tributary of the Delaware River which flows through Martins Creek, PA in Northampton County, Pennsylvania. This one meets the Delaware at the 190.65 river mile.Martins Creek (Delaware River, Bucks County, Pennsylvania) is also a tributary of the Delaware River, but, it flows in Falls Township in Bucks County, in the southeastern corner of Pennsylvania. This one meets the Delaware at the 122.4 river mile, about 68 miles downstream.There is also another Martins Creek in Wyoming County PA.Not to belabor the point, but to show similar situations, there are not less than six Mill Creeks in Bucks County, two of them meet the Neshaminy Creek within miles of one another. There are at least 52 Mill Creeks in Pennsylvania.We Pennsy's seem to have a small vocabulary when it comes to naming water ways, lol. They're also on the disambig page for Martins Creek, seems to be a bit popular.Thank you for visiting my article.Are1718 (talk)02:55, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing todisambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles.Read theFAQ • Join us at theDPL WikiProject.

I wanted to put a hatnote to point to the Jericho Creek disamb page, couldn't find what was the template for that.

Hi, Are1718, I noticed you added your name toWikiProject Rivers so welcome to the project.
To help the project if you could add{{WikiProject Rivers|class=stub|importance=low}} to the talk pages of your articles (assuming they are a stub etc) that would be great. I did also edit one of yourarticles to add theGNIS citation template, giving a direct link to the information, which may be more useful than using one going to the Gnis search page. Hope this helps, I will watch here for any reply...Jokulhlaup (talk)11:59, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Jokulhlaup. Thank you for the WikiProject Rivers and citation templates. I'll start using them and when I get a chance I'll backtrack and retrofit them into my earlier articles (a couple hundred of them). A number of other users have given me help and pointers, this is a great community! Couple of questions: Would this GNIS template replace the citation I've been using, or is it used in addition to the citation? In the Projects template, when does a stub become not a stub? And when is the importance not low? Anyway, just to give folks some idea of what I'm up to, I started out with a goal of putting up articles of all named features in Bucks County, Pennsylvania starting with rivers, then I also started to write articles of rivers in other parts of the country with the same name as one I'm working on in Bucks County, and adding a disamb page to point to them all. That's why there's a bunch of 'Deep Run' articles up now as well as some others, hoping other users will expand the other articles.Are1718 (talk) 03:20, 30 November 2017 (UTC)Oh, another question, most wikilinks when the cursor hovers over them show a thumbnail version of article, but, occassionally a link such asmudstone pops up with a message like Looks like there isn't a preview for this page...know why?Are1718 (talk)03:58, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
When adding hatnotes pointing to disambiguation pages, please take care to observeWP:INTDABLINK, to avoid disrupting disambiguation efforts with false positives. Cheers!bd2412T18:18, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Looks great!cOrneLlrOckEy (talk)11:18, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nice work creating all the articles on PA state game lands. I noticed that you've been citing GNIS. There's aGNIS citation template you can use it as such: <ref>{{cite gnis | id | name | access date}}</ref> and replace id with the GNIS id, name with the official GNIS name, and accessdate with the date you accessed it. This automatically generates full citations for each entry. I would also encourage you to check out othercitation templates if interested. Additionally, scientific names should appear in italics, which you can do with the toolbar. Keep up the good work.Fredlyfish4 (talk)22:32, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Fredlyfish4, thanks for the GNIS template hint, didn't realize this one existed, I was using the one GNIS has at their site, I'll go back and fix them, that and the sci names. Thanks to all those that have helped me improve my articles. I'll check out the template link. Started out creating articles for named 'rivers' of Bucks County as there were only a couple, completed all the ones that discharge into the parent stream in the county. Someday I'll go back and do the ones that leave the county before meeting the parent. Started on 'mountains' of Bucks County, ran into the Game Lands thing were there were only a few out of over 300, so, I'm working on the rest. The help pages are great, but, sometimes hard to find specific pages and templates. I also just browsed your homepage and other sites listed in your userpage. Nice stuff.Are1718 (talk)03:07, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
