Pass/Fail:

Looks good, very little comments (made some copy edits):

No pic this time?
"The Town of Lebanon": is it supposed to be capitalized like this?
"Oh Ranger" is techincally Oh, Ranger! and should be italicized.
"Joseph Leary noted": Joseph Leary who?

@23W: For Town of Lebanon - yes, because it is the governmental body and not the location. Oh Ranger has been fixed and updated to reflect it is a website. I do not have a picture for the park and I cannot use anything other than CC by SA because of image use policy. Flickr did not turn up anything on last check.

@ChrisGualtieri: Changes look good, no sweat about the pictures. There is this source which describes it in the context of conservation, but it mostly rehashes what's mentioned in the article. Might be good to include later, but I won't hold the review for it. Passing. 23W 23:34, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting source you dug up, it is far from the most neutral or detailed source in existence - it exists to garner funding support. The problem with it - this is a state park and is not a local body that controls it. The Town of Lebanon has the Open Space group, but Pomeroy is "open space" but not under their actual jurisdiction or control. The short blip on Pomeroy State Park adds nothing of real importance, but this might be good if I work on the towns. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 23:41, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
