This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The West Virginia is definitely wrong. I've personally seen more than 24 waterfalls there.

You're correct, by a large margin. WV has 275 according to Wikipedia. Now I'm wondering what qualifier was used, was it drop height, discharge, accessible vs inaccessible...

Take it up with Malcolm Tunnell then.

Maybe it’s the definition of natural? Are they created by reservoirs or dams?
