Review for "Dickinson Bay (Texas)" page additions

Hi Hgrove - good job editing the page on Dickinson Bay in Texas! You've made some great improvements to this page. What follows is a review by an external reviewer who based their comments on the version of your page that's available at this link.

Reviewer comments:

Lead section

This description is a concise and appropriate description of Dickinson Bay.

Body of the article

Etymology and History:

• “Based on this history and relationship to the "first 300", it can be assumed that John Dickinson came from an affluent status and is of British ancestry.”
  • More factual information should be provided for this sentence or it should be removed.

Flora and Fauna:

• “Palustrine” should be defined or a link to the definition provided.

Geography:

• “Additionally, there is also palustrine emergent wetlands found in the Dickinson bay which is characterized by grassy vegetation including Marsh-hay cordgrass, arrowheads or square- stem spike rush.”
  • Should “palustrine” be capitalized as it is in the previous sentences?
  • Also, a comma is needed before ‘which’.
• ““There are also estuarine wetlands that are found in the area which are “brackish to saline systems which are affected by tidal influences and salinity regimes.””
  • A reference is needed for this definition in quotations.
• “The Dickinson Bay is found in Dickinson, Texas which is a relatively hot climate in the United States. From May until October the heat can range from 83 to 91 whereas December through February the temperature does not drop below 60 degrees, on average.”
  • Add degrees Fahrenheit to underlined numbers. Would also be useful for those outside the United States to provide the temperature in degrees Celsius.

Tourism and Recreation:

• “Additionally to fishing, a visitor will find that there are multiple trails for kayakers or canoers to take from canals that lead from the Dickinson Bayou.”
  • Remove first three words, and begin the sentence instead with “In addition,”

Gallery/Images:

• It would be nice to provide an image of Dickinson Bay if possible.

References:

• References are legitimate and necessary information provided.

I hope the above is helpful as you wrap up your edits on your Wikipedia page! If you have any questions about this review, please let me know and I'll help you contact the reviewer. JoGDelta (talk) 05:59, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Google Earth Satellite Image of Dickinson Bay.png

A tag has been placed on File:Google Earth Satellite Image of Dickinson Bay.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Whpq (talk) 13:48, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
