Daniel Perry or Garrett Foster

 Daniel Perry is not found on Wikipedia

Neither is Garrett Foster

I suspected when I went to find out some background on a big news story, that this would be the case.  I also know somewhere there is an entire wikipedia article on the story, but neither name of the two parties involved links to it.

Before modern levees and dams were built, the Sacramento Valley would become an inland sea

Not found on Wikipedia.

"Before modern levees and dams were built, the Sacramento Valley would become an inland sea"

Before modern levees and dams were built to contain the rivers, winter storms and spring run-off frequently turned the Sacramento Valley into an inland sea, making the Buttes an island refuge for California Indians, settlers and wildlife.

Maidu`s Spirit Mountain

Native American name for the 

Sutter Buttes

source

Not found on Wikipedia. A redirect and an edit to the article on the Buttes would fix this

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sutter_Buttes

But I like that it's not found on Wikipedia.  Because a Google search for Maidu`s Spirit Mountain takes you to the linked source above, and not to Wikipedia.  Which means you find something else not found on Wikipedia.

Holocene climactic optimum

 This one was a surprise.  I looked at the edit history of 

Hypsithermal


which consist of one edit, a redirect to Holocene climactic optimum 

curprev 16:54, 21 April 2007 Moheroy talk contribs  39 bytes +39   created redirect to Holocene climactic optimum thank

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Holocene_climactic_optimum&action=edit&redlink=1


The redirect actually goes to Holocene climatic optimum, so yes, the "Holocene climactic optimum" does no exist on wikipedia.

Too funny.



Hypsithermal

 

Hypsithermal

The Hypsithermal followed the cool climate of earliest Holocene time (pollen zone IV=Preboreal) and preceded an interval of cool late Holocene climate (pollen zone IX=Subatlantic).
