I am nominating this featured article for review because there is a lot of uncited text throughout the article. The history section stops at 2017, so there would need to be a search for more recent events to see if there is anything to add. "Henderson, Paul (1986)" and "United States Geological Survey" are listed in the bibliography but are not used as inline citations. Z1720 (talk) 01:53, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. This article does need a review, but I'm skeptical that problems are that severe here. A quick check of page size for now vs. the promoted version suggests that very little about the text size has changed, so I rather doubt that much is actually unreferenced. Is there reason to believe something very significant happened since 2017? The idea that things have been quiet seems entirely reasonable to me, there's no need to include every stray mention in a news article. The two general references are trivial complaints - general references as a style are discouraged but this was promoted in 2005. I'm not necessarily saying this is an easy keep, but the reasoning is different - the problem isn't really an occasional stray line of uncited text, the problem is that standards have risen since 2005-2008 and this might not be a comprehensive enough citing of the best sources.
