Reviewer: WTF? ( talk) 15:06, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
This article is in quite good shape, after a few minor copyedits that were really easier to fix myself. I think it's mostly there in terms of the six good article criteria, and can be promoted following a few minor adjustments.
I will leave the article on hold for GA status until 2/28/2010 while these issues are addressed. Once that's fixed, the article can be listed at WP:GA. Cheers! WTF? ( talk) 15:06, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
I have not reviewed a Wikipedia article previously, but will be watching how the GA review goes so I know how to do it in the future. I will also post some comments here about things I think could be improved, or at least considered. Hope it helps. MissionInn.Jim ( talk) 01:14, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
It looks like most of these comments have been addressed except for the "major river" issue. Before I promote this to GA, this should probably be addressed. In comparison to say, the Colorado River, I'm not so sure I'd call this "major". Even the article on the James River in Virginia, being 410 miles long (four times this) doesn't state that it's a "major river". Of course, I could see arguments for calling it a "major river" since it is in the Los Angeles Metro area, too. WTF? ( talk) 01:49, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
It looks like MissionInn.Jim is now satisfied, and I am satisfied that the article meets the GA criteria, so it can be listed. Nice work to all! Thanks for the added comments! WTF? ( talk) 02:55, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
Of the two sources cited for the history section (the History of the Santa Ana River and From Crest to Coast), the first doesn't bother cite any sources and the second (which looks merely to be some popular book written by someone who doesn't appear to be a historian) doesn't have any footnotes or (apparently) references. Both simply state that Cabrillo passed the mouth of the river, but don't explicitly state whether he actually saw it. Could anyone confirm with a reliable, well-cited source written by an expert that he really did sight the river's mouth? OldBabyBlue ( talk) 03:50, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
If that's looking south... how come the shadows are heading off towards the back and left? Looks more like its looking "north". Famartin ( talk) 10:40, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
