Talk:Valley Fire

Caution about play-by-play & verb tense.
and any other editors of this page (INCLUDING MYSELF as I am guilty of this!), let's be careful about verb tense and play by play updates. This fire is shaping up to be one of the most devastating in state history. Lets continue to focus on making sure we keep the narrative going but we don't need play by play updates except for major changes. I am always confused by how to write these articles. Yes this is a currently unfolding event, but I think it really should be written in the past tense. Either way, I think once the fire is finally contained, it would be good to come back and do a rewrite of the article. Once all is said and down we can look back and know how best to organize the page. Thank being said, &  awesome work!!! Hope neither of you think I am being critical of you at all because I truly am not! It is difficult with an event that is unfolding and changing the way this one is. If you have any thoughts please post them here! -- Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 01:41, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Structure count
I think that the 1,000 structures is a bit premature/high. I know there is a source saying 1,000 but all other news outlets are giving much lower numbers. Obviously once the fire is completely contained more accurate numbers will come. Anyone have any thoughts on this? -- Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 16:46, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, it seems that the 1000 plus figure was mentioned widely for a couple of hours and then lower figures started to be mentioned. So I have no problem going with the most recent estimates. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  17:06, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Incredible Story!!!
So I doubt this qualifies to be included in the article, and I don't think it should, but for anyone following this fire, pretty amazing story of a reporter rescuing a dog: Days after wildfire, AP reporter reunites dog with her owner. -- Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 00:57, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
