Main review

Overall comments/Misc

• Copyvio rating: 75.1% chance of violation of this page.

Not to worry, though. That blog post was on 1 December 2013 and on 6 October 2013, the the article had all the "violated" content.

Lead

• Everything is fine here

Specifications

• 594 ft (181 m) above the streambed.

According to the reference, it's 541.0 ft (164.89 m)

Background and construction

• Ref 14 is a dead link with no available archive.

Controversy

• For the references in the first paragraph, they all seem to be bunched together at the end, do you think you could change that?

Very nice article, short, sharp and shiny. I'm going to pass this because the issues I mentioned before are minor and can be fixed in an edit. Passed: --Anarchyte 09:59, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

Ah, what a surprise! I was out for the July 4th weekend so didn't expect to see this article reviewed then. I'll go in now and make the fixes you mentioned. Thanks! Shannon 04:14, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
