Didn't there used to be an article listing all the deaths in Yellowstone? What happened to it? Should this page have a subsection about it? 73.62.184.213 ( talk) 18:10, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
In the History section, native Americans are referred to as Indians. Indians are people from the Indian sub-continent, not people indigenous to North America! This really sounds ridiculous in 2020. Melba1 ( talk) 08:37, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
I currently live in Mammoth Hot Springs and I just wanted to point out that this article's photo of "Fort Yellowstone" actually depicts the General Store and the Terrace Grill, not the historical Fort. I'd love to see it replaced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.151.75.66 ( talk) 21:13, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
This is a 2004 promotion that was reviewed back in 2007 and needs work. The main issues are:
This article is about one of the most important National Parks, and keeping its vital status (viewed >1m times/year) would be a significant achievement. Wretchskull ( talk) 11:18, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
@ Wretchskull and MONGO: Wretchskull, I realize you are new to WP:FAR, so wanted to let you know that MONGO is the main author of so many older FAs, that it would not be possible for him to update all of them at once; we are trying to keep in mind that editors of many older FAs need time to work. I believe (??) he is working on Glacier next.
MONGO, this one is in much worse shape than Glacier, and considerable updates will eventually be needed. Not only is a lot of it uncited, but information needs to be checked to be sure it is current and as of dates are given. It looks like this one got hit by student editing. I think I got all of the MOS:SANDWICH. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 22:39, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
For a park of this size, having a single point mark its location within Wyoming isn't really adequate. Would anyone be opposed to adding an outline map of Yellowstone in place of the current map, similar to Park County, Wyoming? Mysteryman blue 02:08, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
The following paragraph is in the History section:
In 1806, John Colter, a member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, left to join a group of fur trappers. After splitting up with the other trappers in 1807, Colter passed through a portion of what later became the park, during the winter of 1807–1808. He observed at least one geothermal area in the northeastern section of the park, near Tower Fall. [1] After surviving wounds he suffered in a battle with members of the Crow and Blackfoot tribes in 1809, Colter described a place of " fire and brimstone" that most people dismissed as delirium; the supposedly mystical place was nicknamed " Colter's Hell". Over the next 40 years, numerous reports from mountain men and trappers told of boiling mud, steaming rivers, and petrified trees, yet most of these reports were believed at the time to be myth. [2]
I don't see support in either of these two sources for the claims that people didn't believe Colter, nor that Colter was wounded or fought in a battle, nor that people believed the other reports to be myth. The phrase "fire and brimstone" is also absent from both sources. This is concerning, as it is a featured article.

Sirs
Not only is the claim wrong but misleads the readers by the assertion of being the world's first national park. This title belongs to Mongolia who in the 1700's made an area in their country a national park pre dating the yellowstone's status by some 100 years Please amend the error and correct the article accordingly 188.29.193.19 ( talk) 09:15, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
