I updated the fawn photo so it had a template. I think we'll be OK. I had thought of adding an image of the Colonel, but was worried that someone would say it was fair use and decorative only. 2924:

article on Google News that gave the opening day as August 1, 1943, so I added that. I then had to say the official park history says recreational facilities opened in 1944 (so I can see "the park is open" in 1943, but there were no facilities) and tweaked the lead. WOuld you mind looking at the 1944

Ricketts Glen State Park is 10 kB and Bruce is now 42 kB, so we are at 4.2-fold expansion. I am done with History and Geology, and have added pictures (I want to get one of the Lake Leigh dam with the breach in it, for now I have the image of the dry Lake Leigh bed in as a place holder). I also added

I suspect that Arizona Beach was the invention of the property owner who sold the land to the state in 2008. I further suspect that the owner had a fondness for a country-and-western song about a non-existent beach in Arizona. This is pure speculation, and I've found no source, reliable or otherwise,

I didn't look very hard. Now I see the missing message. I'm afraid I was completely absorbed in Willamette River discharge statistics. I will be glad to see what I can do with the two creeks tomorrow (Saturday). Nice job on putting together an Oregon park article from scratch. You are certainly fast.

3002:

I see you removed my addition of Coxey to the Danville residents...heck, you removed the residents section as well. My thanks to you once again for your editing work, with the emphasis on you having the courtesy to take the time to leave me a message that you did it. However, I politely ask you, is

2372:

I figure expanding the lead will add 2 to 3 kB and guess that I may be able to add 2 or 3 more kB in the remaining sections, which would get us to 4.6 to 4.8 fold expansion, which I assume will be enough for DYK. I am guessing I can do the merge of Bruce with the RGSP article tomorrow (Friday) to

I have neither email addresses. I don't know if this would work, but I note that the sender's email address is included in the "From" line; so, technically, if you sent a message I could just "RE" it back with the files. Ruhrfisch is welcome to be the sender as well, if he's interested in reading

Your goal of getting one in each state is a great idea. I have an instant suggestion for a park in Oregon, but it might be a toughie. A few days ago, I discovered a state park in Oregon that appears on maps but doesn't seem to appear in the state's official list of parks. I redlinked this park in

2721:

Amen to that! The panorama at the bottom has "Waterfall" 24 times as alt text, otherwise I think they are all done. I changed the deer and bear to deer and bear as I think most people would recognize them. Alt text is not longer a FAC requirement, so I am leaving the silly alt in for now and can

1517:

That is quite a pipeline you've got going there - congratulations and keep up the good work. Do you think it would be helpful to upload the larger original of the spillway picture here or on Flickr? I do not think I ever sent a message to Nicholad T, but I could send him a thank you Flickr mail.

2785:

I am done with every copyedit and ref and image check I can think of. I will ask Fientooth to take a look at the PR. I am doing a review for Ben MacDui and a map for Brianboulton may ask them to look at the PR too (once I have done the review and map). Anyone else to ask? Oh, when I changed the

2394:

Thanks for adding the Environmental education and other info - it is now up to 43 kB. I can add the ghost town tours of Ricketts from the park there and have some more to add to Wildlife. I am OK with waiting on the merge - are you still OK with the proposed as a national park hook?

2803:

OK, I will only re-bullet list it if the DYK folk want 49 kB vs 46 kB. I will ask Finetooth and think I will ask Michael Devore to do a typo check too. Do you want to ask Niagara? Do you want me to ask the others too (may take a few days for me to do the review and map).

984:, which has nothing to do with this creek. I will add these two creeks as well as the park to my list of "photos needed"; no telling when I will get down there. It's quite a ways from here to there, so I will try to get a bunch of photos when I get the chance. 2412:

I was thinking that the list of game animals in the Hunting section might be useful for the Wildlife section - also there is the website on the plant life in the park (linked on Bruce's talk page). Also need to check the usual sources (Audubon etc.)

1992:

Thanks for the best wishes Susanne. Thanks to Dincher for adding the Cherry Springs TFA date to my user page. I have some more stuff to add to Bruce, up to 40 kB now. Glad it is looking good, think 44 kB is easily within reach. Not sure about 55.

757:. I am asking the FAC and PR reviewers to please take a second look at the Clemuel Ricketts Mansion article and make sure it still reads smoothly and clearly. If you find problems, please raise them on the article's talk page. Thanks in advance, 1864:

Thanks for uploading those - the one titled Warmth on Flickr did not upload for some reason, so I just spent an hour (and made several duplicate uploads under wrong file names that are already deleted on Commons) getting it fixed. It is now at

Glad to help. Only admins and bureaucrats can delete stuff on Knowledge (XXG) as far as I know. The ability to delete just the text and leave the IP address and the edit summary is new (came in with the recent changes). Did you get my emails?

2245:, but I am also glad to do it. If I did not want to be an admin, I could just ask to have the privelege removed. I know I am not the world's most active admin, but I like to help out some - the user box has a link to an essay by 2568:

I did a history merge from Bruce to RGSP. It went from 10 kB to 44 kB, so 4.4-fold expansion. I still think the lead needs to be four paragraphs and guess we can get another 2 or 3 kB from that. Do you like the new pictures?

2533:

Turns out when I try and do a 360 degree panorama, Autostitch gets confused, so I settled for about 330 degrees (18 of 20 pix, 20th overlaped the first). I deleted the nastiness at Meyersdale, Pennsylvania, thanks,

980:, the shorter of the two, doesn't even have a GNIS listing, as far as I can tell. I used the long article names with qualifiers because Oregon has other streams with the same names and even a small city named 1979:

I came across the article in connection with something else and thought it well written. I nominated it for GA without knowing it was 'under construction'. I'll withdraw it from GAN. Good luck with the FA!

2498:(out) Thanks, it looks good, but agree that it is a bit general. There is some more specific info on deer in the Lake Ganoga article. I will add some links on the talk page, then will upload some new pix. 903:

it is on a Google map as Bowers Rocks State Park, so I might not have the name quite right (Bower or Bowers, Rock or Rocks). I don't know if you can find enough RS material, though. Another thought: the

1552:

Well, I just uploaded the larger version on Commons and saw there that a duplicate file existed, then saw your message here. I can nominate the duplicate for speedy deletion on Commons (as a duplicate)

324: 2516:

Thanks - I tried a 360 degree panorama and need to close a bunch of web browser windows as I keep running out of memory. Will save the links on the talk page of Bruce, then upload and work here.

2447:

The park has a new brochure - includes photos of almost all of the named waterfalls (not Adams or the 2 only the book names). Wonmder if our article influenced this? Anyway, it is

503: 2603:

It is a stump they were looking at - I figured including some people gave the office a sense of scale - glad you like it. Have fun with the new one, will be offline for a while.

2739:

I sometimes get in a mood where I can write alt texts pretty quickly (like tonight) but they are a royal pain, and tonight I couldn't avoid format errors to save my skin.

1839:

Rats - I saw it early this morning but did not do a screen capture - sorry I did not get a picture of it for you. Plan to work on Bruce in the next few hours (finally).

323:

Just noticed that you got this article; thanks for nice work on western Ohio :-) I've been there several times, but without exception it's to get pictures such as

start the DYK clock, and that it would also be able to be nominated for peer review the same day (though the refs need some work and I think it is overlinked).

1535:

Sorry to be unclear - I meant a larger version of the same image. It is 500 pixels wide, and I assumed the original was probably at least 4x as wide in pixels.

2586:

Glad you like the pictures, old and new. Camano SP is big enough and has been expanded much more than 5x. I will try to add to lead tonight and then nominate.

3034: 328: 703:

Congratulations - what a clever and nicely written hook too! ;-) Fixed the Pet problem - made it Geobox2, then moved the ref out of the box.

2666:

Thanks for adding ice climbing to the lead. Weather is not there either, but am not sure what to say. I mentioned the 4.8 fold expansion on the

I was able to add the year of the park's establishment. I would like to add something about the flora / fauna (there is a photo of a

I am glad to help out with these - just have been busy in real life and not online as much. If something is urgent, there is always

tribe article, but they are different so I wrote a start class article. I always Arizona didn't have any Pacific beaches ;-)

2303: 1720:

I will add the panorama and dam shots. I wondered if any of the current shots could be swapped out for the beach shot at BESP.

I've been to Hell (at least in Michigan) - much nicer than I would have expected ;-) Congratulations on your latest DYK!

Congrats on another one of your, many, DYKs! I note you do not have one from Michigan yet. I wonder if you might consider the
