This does look like a worthy GA article. I'll finish this review within a day or two at the most. Thanks ☯ Jag  uar  ☯ 21:20, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Initial comments

 * "It is located 40 km (25 mi)" - should miles (imperial) usually be in front of kilometres (metric)? I've never seen this before. Seeing as that this is used in the whole article, I wouldn't say that this would affect the GAN
 * No, countries that use metric instead of imperial measurements usually have kilometres in front of miles in their articles, at least in geographical/geological ones anyway.  Volcano guy  19:49, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I understand as this is an article about a range, not a specific location ☯ Jag  uar  ☯ 19:54, 5 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Slight WP:OVERLINKING in the Flora and fauna section
 * Removed.  Volcano guy  19:49, 5 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Is that table necessary in the Parasitic cones section? Its length disrupts the flow of the prose - can it be collapsed or cut back if it is essential to the article?
 * I tried collapsing it but didn't work out too well. How exactly does it disrupt the flow of the prose?  Volcano guy  19:49, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, I don't think it would derail a GAN so if you prefer we could leave it in ☯ Jag  uar  ☯ 19:54, 5 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Does the Occupation section only mention the indigenous people or can it expand more on the more contemporary colonisation?
 * Indigenous people are the primary group in this part of British Columbia.  Volcano guy  19:49, 5 January 2015 (UTC)


 * "One particular ranch, the Home Ranch, used the Blackwater Trail" - what is this? A road? Natural causeway?
 * I have linked "Blackwater Trail" to the Alexander MacKenzie Heritage Trail article.  Volcano guy  19:49, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

On hold
Sorry this took so long. I like the way this article is written; it is broad, comprehensive and easy to read/understand. This is among the most well written articles I have reviewed but as with 90% of my reviews, I put them on hold once the more technical issues are out of the way (in order to perfect the article). It is also a rule in the GA cup which I am currently participating in that straight up passes are not allowed, but under the circumstances I would have put this on hold anyway. Please let me know when everything is addressed, this should have little problems passing ☯ Jag  uar  ☯ 14:00, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Close - promoted
Thanks for clarifying them. As I mentioned above the table shouldn't affect a GAN but I originally thought it left a space too long. Anyway, this article is well written, broad and well referenced. Pure GA material ☯  Jag  uar  ☯ 19:54, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
