1989 Helena train wreck

 * ... that the Helena train wreck of 1989 occurred during a record cold snap that ranked #4 on the NOAA's list of Montana's Top Weather/Water/Climate events of the 20th century?
 * Comment: Is fighting an AFD right now, but in response to AFD, I expanded article from one sentence to over 5x with 2957 characters. Probably shouldn't go up to DYK queue until AFD closed, but want the nom in before 5-day deadline.

 * MTBW has done a great job of article rescue here and I'll jump in and help. Note the AFD is starting to look like a consensus keep due to her work. Recommend DYK waiting til AFD finishes its run. Pumpkin Sky  talk  12:43, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
 * The AFD nominator has withdrawn it, article is a keep, just that an admin needs to process the withdrawal. Pumpkin Sky  talk  01:55, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
 * An admin has now processed the withdrawal. Is someone available to evaluate this nomination now? Thanks!


 * AFD closed as keep now. Ready for DYK review. Pumpkin Sky   talk  23:32, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg New enough, long enough, well-referenced. 5x expansion verified. Hook is interesting and verified. I tweaked a few words to avoid close paraphrasing, and added conversions for non-American readers. I think that centigrade temperatures should also be added in parentheses, but I wasn't sure how to do that automatically. After you take care of that, it'll be ready to go.

 * I also moved the page to 1989 Helena train wreck per WP:MOS. Yoninah (talk) 00:13, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for all you have done, Yoninah. I will see if I can get a conversion template that works, I agree that metric conversion is suitable.   Montanabw (talk) 22:35, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Wow, it was as easy as that? Thanks, now I'll know what to do next time. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 17:19, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
