I will be reviewing this article. My strategy is to give overall comments about the article, then go through it section by section, check all the references, and finally to check it against the Good Article criteria. I'll let the nominator know when I'm ready for their response. Rcsprinter₁₂₃ (converse) @ 19:26, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Overall comments

This is a substantial article, with several sections, with a few images, and what looks to be an adequate number of references at first glance. Checklinks reports no dead links and there are no ambiguous links, either. Good chances of passing, in my opinion.

Sectional analysis

After the review has been conducted, editors addressing the article may mark individual points below off by placing {{done}} after the item.

Lead

• Is there any article to link to for county park? If not, anything more specific than park?
• passed to the care of the County of Lehigh. Lehigh County assumed ... would be better more like passed to the care of Lehigh County, which assumed ...
• What is "assuming title"?
• Need a comma to open the subordinate clause, just before "suffering" at the start of the final paragraph
• What efforts have been made to eradicate invasive plants?
• What are inartful range practices?

History

• well-to-do men of the age - not very encyclopedic wording
• semicolon required after "early environmentalist"
• Can fee simple apply in Pennsylvania; its article says that it is in "English law"
• What's with the clunky of [Lehigh] County[.]"?
• Connective such as "and" required between "languid" and "budget"
• In the early 2000s - quite vague, anything more exact available?

Topography

• Mill Creak
• Mill creek x2
• More citations needed for the first two paragraphs of the "ranges" section

• Fix any outstanding issues from /GA1.

References

• I'm not confident that Google Maps (Ref 22) can be used as a citation. A more solid map, i.e. pdf, would be appreciated.
• Ref 31 needs properly formatting from the bare URL
• Ref 34 (lvzoo) does not mention leasing land and buildings from the County, nor a 1975 founding

That is all. The review is  On hold until all the issues listed above are fixed or accounted for. After this, we can check against the GA criteria. Rcsprinter₁₂₃ (state) @ 19:34, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Well, nobody has responded nor improved the article within seven days of the review, so the outcome is  failed. Rcsprinter₁₂₃ (parlez) @ 10:15, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
