Picture

That picture is too large and covers over the template. It should be tweeked to fit, but know not how to do it myself so I thought I'd bring it up here.

I reviewed this article as it is one of the oldest unreviewed featured articles. I noticed that it has accumulated some unsourced statements, and flagged them. I am not a specialist in this area so there may well be other issues that I didn't notice. ( t · c) buidhe 06:01, 31 December 2020 (UTC) reply

The article had a major update in 2010 and while that is still a decade ago, it is a few years after ti went to FAC. The reason for the update was to prepare it for the 100th anniversary of the founding of the park in 1910.-- MONGO ( talk) 08:26, 31 December 2020 (UTC) reply
I really don't get why people like yourself can find the time to slap cite needed tags on articles (asking in many cases for a citation for what is hardly a controversial issue that needs a citation!) and not the time to do a tiny bit of reference searching on their own. It looks like shit to be frank. [1] are cites really needed for obvious details like where route 2 goes or about whether dogs are allowed on trails or that guide and shuttle services are available?? Also if you're going to festoon FAs with such pollution, add a date to the tags would you? [2]-- MONGO ( talk) 08:46, 31 December 2020 (UTC) reply
I'm going to mark this as satisfactory with note. There are two sentences that need updating in my opinion, and I can't get the climate template to expand per default for the manual of style. @ MONGO, if you agree with me, you're also invited to mark your own featured article(s) as satisfactory at Wikipedia:URFA/2020.

@ MONGO and Femkemilene: this is the sort of thing that needs to be reviewed and updated throughout: [3]. The article is still largely cited to very old pages, which have been updated, and as of dates should be provided. This is a sample only (which I saw as I was adjusting images); please ping me when done, so I can mark “Satisfactory” at WP:URFA/2020.

MONGO, re your comment above, we have 4,000 very old featured articles to go through and most of us are working ‘round the clock on those; it’s not possible for reviewers to get to all of the work ourselves, even for articles like this (my favorite place on Earth), no matter how much we want to :). There is no pressure, but we can’t do it all, and have to keep checking back as to which articles we can check off. Best regards, SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 21:33, 4 March 2021 (UTC) reply

This is another example of the kind of thing that needs to be checked throughout. MONGO, few FAs endure long enough to need this sort of change, and I’m glad this one has :). SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 21:48, 4 March 2021 (UTC) reply
  • @ MONGO, Femkemilene, SandyGeorgia, and Atsme: There are still some failed verification tags in this article. Is anyone interested in adding new sources for these tags? If not, can someone bring this to WP:FAR, so interested editors may discover this article there and make improvements? Unfortunately, I am at my 5 article limit at FAR (and Sandy probably is, too) so I would not be able to nominate this for a while. Z1720 ( talk) 02:16, 6 February 2022 (UTC) reply
Sure, I'll get started on it tomorrow. Atsme 💬 📧 06:11, 6 February 2022 (UTC) reply
@ Z1720: Why are you at a limit on FAR nominations?-- MONGO ( talk) 11:22, 6 February 2022 (UTC) reply
This article will be updated in 2022.-- MONGO ( talk) 12:12, 6 February 2022 (UTC) reply
@ MONGO: editors at FAR are limited to five nominations at a time, and can only nominate one per week. This is because nominators are expected to provide regular reviews of articles they nominate (if someone is willing to work on them) and to prevent the FAR system from being overwhelmed. I am happy that Atsme is going to work on this, and I saw your message at WT:URFA/2020 stating that you are working on various FAs, too. Please ping me if this article is ready for another review.
