Bushy Lake article
[edit]Hello, thanks for writing this! I've made a few edits which I hope will help:
- Saying where the lake is in the first sentence.
- I've added a reference list.
- So it's findable, I've added categories for the article and a tag on the talk page marking it as part of the California WikiProject
Few things that would be nice to add:
- When was the lake created and why?
- How's it filled from the river? From a sluice at higher elevation? Or is it sort of an overflow for when the river's high like a flood meadow?
- A photo - I looked for one on Flickr that's CC-licensed but couldn't find one. There's a Bushy Park with a lake in London which makes it hard to search for pictures for lake though, so there might be one.
Few conventions for your future reference:
- It's standard on Wikipedia to put references after the full stop. An automated bot system reads through articles fixing this though so no need to worry about changing it.
- One of the links goes to "page not found" - maybe if this is the right URL put in a link to an Internet Archive backup of the site.
- Some titles for the pdf references would be nice but not necessary
Otherwise looks good, let me know if any thoughts! Blythwood (talk) 12:18, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
