As a native of the North Country of Northern New York, I'm really disappointed that Randall didn't label the St. Lawrence river. :-( 162.158.158.253 22:49, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
Had a go at the Transcript. Plenty of problems with it, but I was attempting to be partway methodical (generally heading north-to-south, seemed easier than "north-and clockwise" or any other sweep, once I started to do it) and not actually mention 'quoted' words more than once. Unless they're actually written multiple times. (looking at you, Mississippi!)
But had no option but to repeat some of the quoted text within the label-descriptor 'tags', perhaps each actual fragment should indeed by given all boundaries, but I think that's better left for the table that will inevitably have to be put into the main Explanation. There one can actually list the named and unnamed bordering waters (river, canal, lake, sea and ocean) for actual reference.
Also the wording. Tried not to repeat "bounded by" synonyms too much, but maybe I should just have chosen one option and repeated it anyway, given the difficulties and contextual issues of doing it absolutely unrepeatably. But it's my best try (at just gone midnight, indicating how personally familiar I might be with the continental US's geography, or not). And thus over to you people who actually know more about the Mississippi than merely how to spell it. (Not sure I've read, and thus spelt, some of the other names given right, either. Definitely check and edit as necessary.) Perhaps a geographic map could (e.g.) even identify the "Nunavuk+" territory with a better actually known descriptor, too! Canada is even less my forté than the US. 162.158.74.63 23:50, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
