This is an article that grew out of a red link in Waterfalls in Ricketts Glen State Park. It recently became a GA (thanks Arsenikk) and I want to thank Dincher and Jackyd101 for their reviews too. None of the reviewers found major problems, so I thought I would bring it to FAC as I believe it meets all the featured article requirements.

I want to note that because this is a privately owned lake, current sources on it are limited. I also want to thank Ben Kouba and Justin Mowery on Flickr for freely licensing their beautiful images for use in this article. Thanks in advance for your comments, which I will do my best to respond to quickly. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 02:45, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Support all of my concerns were addressed in an earlier review. Dincher (talk) 03:23, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Thanks for your review and support, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 03:54, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Comments. No dab links or dead external links. I could fix a few dashes, so I can feel I did something useful here. Ucucha 03:39, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for checking the dabs and ELs, and for fixing the dashes. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 03:54, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Support - No need to thank me for my review, I really couldn't contribute more than praise for this excellent article which I am happy to support without reservation. Regards--Jackyd101 (talk) 09:51, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for your support and kind words. I found your peer review comments helpful too ;-) Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 11:41, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Review by Charles Edward
  • "However, according to a 1917 Pennsylvania Water Resources Inventory Report, in its longest dimensions it is 3,720 feet (1,130 m) long (0.705 miles or 1.135 km) by 1,025 feet (312 m) wide.", should probably have a citation there
  • "It has an average depth of 10 feet (3.0 m) and a maximum depth of 13 feet (4.0 m).", should probably have a citation there
  • The alt text for File:Ganoga Lake Map.png is very long. It should probably be cut back.
• Images all check out good
• References are great
• Prose is outstanding
• Alt text present
• No outstanding MOS issues

Support, this article is fantastic. Great job! —Charles Edward ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 14:26, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Thanks for your kind words, support, and suggestions. I added the same ref (p. 70 of the 1917 Pennsylvania Water Resources Inventory Report) after each of the two sentences. If they all use the same reference, my preference is to have one ref at the end of a series of sentences, but this makes it very clear where each sentence gets its data. I also tried trimming the alt text some. Hopefully these are better now? Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 15:43, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
