Looking at this one. —Ed!(talk) 15:55, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
- It is reasonably well written:
- Lead
- The lead should include some discussion of material losses and numbers of cares burned (details of strong interest to the casual reader.)
- Added the estimated economic damage, and it already includes number of homes burned. "Number of cares," is this a typo?
- Events
- It would be helpful to start with a discussion of local weather at the time of the fires starting. Was it a dry season? How much rain had they seen that month? Wind?
- Added some relevant info, thanks for pointing that out.
- "...sent the crew to fight a wildfire in Oregon rather than contain the local fires" -- Which fire in Oregon? Does it have a page?
- I couldn't find any sources naming the specific fire (and 2014 Oregon wildfires and Category:2014 Oregon wildfires don't exist), so I couldn't add this. I think the main point here is that the firefighters were sent out of state (and that it's coincidental that the fires began near a smokejumper base). I could also move this to the lawsuit section since it relates to that, I only put it here in order to be more chronological.
- "...At around 8:00 pm that evening," -- Please include local time zone here and elsewhere.
- Fixed
- Aftermath
- Is there a better geographic sense of where was affected? What counties or towns were most strongly affected?
- Added more detail
- I note one lawsuit estimates damages. Are there any details on total estimated damages? I know in CA for instance they sometimes collect details on how many insurance claims were made for a big wildfire. The state Department of Insurance sometimes put these out. Also, insurers will sometimes report major write-offs, especially significant ones, to the SEC. That might require knowing who the big insurers are in the affected areas, though.
- The only number I could find was $98 million in the HistoryLink essay, I've added this.
- Any note of what the biggest WA fire was before this one?
- Added this info
- Lead
- It is factually accurate and verifiable:
- No problems here.
- It is broad in its coverage:
- Any info about other widlfires in other states during this season? Might make sense to talk a bit about if this was a particularly bad season or if it was just local weather conditions that left this an isolated case.
- Added more about some fires in the same region in the following year, which I admit was a big omission. I didn't add anything about other 2014 Washington fires because they weren't that notable and there isn't a lot of sources out there about them. I think people will understand that this was a particularly bad season since I've added that it was the largest in the state since 1901.
- It follows the neutral point of view policy:
- No problems here.
- It is stable:
- No problems here.
- It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate:
- Copyright checks out on images.
- Other:
- Dup links, copyvio, dab links and external link checkers all return no problems.
- On Hold pending some fixes. —Ed!(talk) 19:00, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Ed!: Thanks for the feedback. I've done what I can, but I'm willing to work on it more if necessary, let me know what you think. —Surachit (talk) 06:29, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Surachit: This all looks good. Passing GA now. —Ed!(talk) 01:37, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
