Facilities and activities - kite shelter?

What is a "kite shelter"? A shelter sounds like the opposite of what kite enthusiasts would want. ☆ Bri (talk) 07:18, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like the shelter is just shaped like a kite. Removing it now. Sounder Bruce 14:29, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that is interesting. I'm not aware of any other Northwest public facility with a fabric structure. ☆ Bri (talk) 14:45, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I did a little research and found a tension fabric structure at the Tulalip outlet store mall [1]. MOHAI has one too [2]. But still relatively unique. ☆ Bri (talk) 16:50, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

One more – the

Seems to be a Snohomish County thing. My local transit center has one as well. Sounder Bruce 17:02, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Very interesting Cascadia-specific note at that last link: "performs well in seismic and heavy wind events and snow". My mind is starting to mull over new article opportunities... ☆ Bri (talk) 17:12, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lead is too brief, I'd expect to see at least twice as much detail than the three sentences which are currently provided, especially as most of the lead is already noted in the infobox.
- Y Expanded the lead.
I would urge caution over wikilinking common terms like "beach" or "sand".
- Y Fixed
"3 ft (1 m) [1]" space between measurement and reference is unnecessary.
- N The space is inserted by the infobox
Seattle is linked second time round.
- Y Fixed
"$75 each," might be interesting to see what that's worth in current values?
- Y Added inflation-adjusted figure
"$100 million refinery" similar, as $100m in 1967 is probably quite a substantial investment.
- Y Added inflation-adjusted figure
"Atlantic Ritchfield" typo.
- Y Fixed
"Washington State Supreme Court" doesn't appear to have the word "State" in its official title.
- Y Fixed
"Kayak Point is a cuspate foreland on..." suddenly linking Kayak Point here?
- Y Removed
"cabins" is a dab link.
- Y Removed

Neat work, a few minor points to address, so on hold. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:35, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: Thanks for the review. I've addressed all but one of your points (the remaining one is out of my control and hopefully not too big of a bother). Sounder Bruce 15:10, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Okeydokey, pesky infobox format aside (and noted that it's outside the scope of the GA review really), happy with this, so I'll promote, good job. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:29, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
