Meredith Creek[edit]

(

)

... that The National Map shows Meredith Creek as being only 0.4 miles (0.64 km) long?

Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Holcorpa
Comment: Technically accurate, but one other source disagrees, hence the hedging. Then again, The National Map is the best source for these things.

New enough, long enough, adequately referenced, neutrally written, no close paraphrasing seen. QPQ done. Regarding the hook fact, where do I find the length figure on The National Map site? Yoninah (talk) 20:42, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Is the new permanent link satisfactory? --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 14:45, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

When the link opens, I just see a map. I don't see anything about the creek being 0.4 miles long. Yoninah (talk) 19:21, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Well, you have to use the distance measuring tool, under the advanced tab. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 14:48, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

OK, that worked. I get an answer of 0.612 or 0.614 km, but since it's hard to pinpoint the exact starting and ending points, I'll take your word for it at 0.64 km. Hook ref AGF and cited inline. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 19:15, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
