GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose, spelling, and grammar):   b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):  
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable, as shown by a source spot-check.
    a (reference section):   b (inline citations to reliable sources):   c (OR):   d (copyvio and plagiarism):  
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects):   b (focused):  
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:  
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:  
  6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales):   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):  
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:  

I will be reviewing in this order: stability, image, coverage & copyvio; verifiability & sourcing; lead, prose & MOS; and post-changes review. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 13:28, 17 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Verifiability

edit

Geography

edit
  • None of the sources in the first line say that Nahta Cone is located in Cassiar Land District, though the Arctic Lake Plateau part is fine. The BC govt site has an entry for Nahta Cone which is a useful source to add.
    The map cited in the first sentence is of Cassiar Land District (Telegraph Creek, Cassiar Land District, British Columbia). Volcanoguy 15:50, 17 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
    I've swapped the map for the BCGN source since that one makes it clearer. Volcanoguy 16:11, 17 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • GVP uses the name Nahto, and coords are slightly to the north of the cone but very likely refer to this feature
    GVP corrected the spelling in September so I have removed the archive of that source until there is a new one. Volcanoguy 16:08, 17 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • "Between Nahta Cone and Tadekho Hill is Nahta Creek ..." > Is there a source that doesn't require interpreting the map? There are a few components of this article that make use of a map.
    No. Volcanoguy 15:48, 17 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • "With an area of 266,180 hectares ..." > The only descriptive source say "over 230,000 hectares"
    Further below "over 230,000 hectares" BC Parks claims the park has a size of 266,180 hectares. Volcanoguy 15:47, 17 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

One more thing, the line about Jack Souther's radiocarbon date can be rewritten in the active voice. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 01:01, 18 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Meaning? Volcanoguy 01:36, 18 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Something like: "Canadian volcanologist Jack Souther obtained a radiocarbon date of 1,340 years from the lava flows."
I think the air-fall tephra sentence could also be reworded: "Air-fall tephra was deposited, and a roughly 3-kilometre-long (1.9-mile) lava flow effused and traveled northerly and then westerly into the head of Nahta Creek during Nahta Cone's formation" Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 01:51, 18 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
These rewordings seem trivial since they are describing the same thing but in a different way. Volcanoguy 16:05, 18 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
The current wording contributes to the choppy flow as I'm reading Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 00:01, 19 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Dora the Axe-plorer: I've reorganized the second paragraph in the geology section, please check to see if it's any better. Volcanoguy 18:29, 19 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
