Talk:Brandywine Creek (Christina River tributary)

thread_title:  Great Pix 

message: The box is nice, but does look a bit clumsy.  Maybe some re-ordering of the pix would work.
The confluence is listed in the box as being in east Bradford township, whereas I had put a week or so ago that it is in Pocopson Township.  Checking further at
http://www.eastbradford.org/publicinfo/Maps/OfficialMap_122305.pdf it looks like (far south west corner of map) that it is on the border between the two.  It looks like a minor point to go into much detail about, but I may do something here.  Smallbones 09:37, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The relocation of the picture is definitely better.  As for the location of the confluence, I totally missed the statement about Pocopson Township, so between the 2 of us, we make a good team in figuring out its actually the boundary.  VerruckteDan 22:03, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Box, confluence 

message: This is a nice start - needs lots more references. Here is the DCNR page on the Brandywine creek watershed. Here are the USGS GNIS pages for Brandywine Creek (with alternate names listed), and its East and West Branches. At some point I will add data from the PA Gazetteer of Streams II which lists lengths, watershed areas, elevation of source and mouth, etc. All three streams are included in this book.

thread_title:  Possibly useful sources 

message: I think the article looks pretty good, but there are definitely some areas for improvement. I always like to use a model article and have been the main author on several Pennsylvania stream FAs, which may be useful as models (see Larrys Creek as one example). There arename se also several tributaries of the Columbia River that are FAs and nice models, such as Johnson Creek (Willamette River).

replies: text: Canoeing might be especially relevant.  In the lead there is mention of scenic river status, but I don't have anything to follow it up with. Smallbones (talk) 19:04, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Have to look it up in a copy of Gertler's Keystone Canoeing - I know the main stem and both branches are in there. Fishing is also possible - both branches and some other tribs are approved trout fishing waters - see this PFBC map. Ruhrfisch  ><>°° 20:23, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

text: Immediately above you can see my original reaction to including all the names, but your suggestions look a lot better than just ripping them all out Smallbones (talk) 19:04, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I had seen that - forgot to mention Paulins Kill, another model FA which does a nice job with Names in the History section, including Dutch and Native American names. Ruhrfisch  ><>°° 19:27, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

text: Hard for me to read and make sense of - the key variable is "long term median discharge" ? and the units are "cubic feet per second"?  Below I've starred* the numbers I'd include if the above is the right interpretation.  Smallbones (talk) 19:04, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

text: Maybe put this in as a table - with coords if I can find them? Smallbones (talk) 19:04, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I would give the average discharge at the Wilmington station (408 ft3/s) as this gives a good idea of how "big" the river system is. I would mention the five other stations and use the link to each as a ref. I might give the discharge for the lower (further downstream gage) on each of the Branches too (again to give an idea of their sizes). Again looking at model articles can help give ideas on how to treat this. Ruhrfisch  ><>°° 19:27, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

text: Geology might be especially important given the historic importance of the fall line, but where do I get a source? Smallbones (talk) 19:04, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Suggestions for GA 

message: The overall drainage basin size for Brandywine Creek is , with  of that in Delaware. Brandywine Creek is  long from the confluence of the East and West Branches to the mouth. It is  from the confluence to the Delaware state line (the length in Pennsylvania). 
The West Branch watershed is  in area (all of which is part of the larger watershed given above), and it is  long. If you add the lengths of the West Branch and main stem, it is  long.
The East Branch watershed is  in area (all of which is part of the larger watershed given above), and it is  long.
The average precipitation in the watershed is 42 to 26 inches (1067 to 1168 mm). The watershed is in the Piedmont Uplands Physicographic Province in Pennsylvania and the rocks there are shale, slate and limestone for the main stem (after the confluence). The branches have schist, gneiss, marble, and limestone rocks. 
These are all taken from   (no ISBN), except the length from the confluence to the mouths, which is from  (also duplicates the branch watershed areas).
The watershed is in four counties: Chester, Delaware, and Lancaster in PA, New Castle in DE. See this map,http://pa.water.usgs.gov/pc38/data/Brandywine%20Bacteria%20Map.html which also gives bacteria counts in the main stem and branches.
There is a water budget for the East Branch here.http://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2005/5113/ 
Found a book on the watershed association.http://books.google.com/books?id=GuCrofXMx-UC&pg=PA189&lpg=PA189&dq=Brandywine+Creek+watershed+association&source=bl&ots=5lcQTGjEIL&sig=0t2tUcKQmW1ypOPHFJGNZnR9qE4&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=4&ct=result#PPA189,M1 and the watershed association web page here. Woo hoo!

thread_title:  Data dump 

message: Brandywine Village, a key center of U.S. industrialization, deserves an article of its own, not just a sub-section of the History section of an article about its river. I propose to create a new article, Brandywine Village, and to move at least some of the detail from this article to that one. PRRfan (talk) 17:09, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Brandywine Creek (Christina River tributary)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
