1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens

Three sources, no inline citations. Punctured Bicycle 20:57, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

In addition to the citation needs: Doesn't look too bad; should be able to retain its star (as all of Mav's articles have). Sandy Georgia (Talk) 21:47, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Attention to WP:UNITS needed throughout (non-breaking hard spaces). The templates  and  may be useful, since there are so many instances.
 * See also needs pruning per WP:GTL; most of those links could be incorporated into the text or should already be there.

This shouldn't be a problem to fix. I'll start work on the inline cite and unit issues soon. --mav 01:06, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Question? I have never seen a "Main article" template at the top of a main article; isn't the correct usage to just wikilink Mount St. Helens in the lead ? Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 01:16, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Image:Mount St. Helens Goolge Earth.png has to be dealt with before May 24. Sandy Georgia (Talk) 02:31, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Image replaced by USGS PD image. -- MarcoTolo 00:49, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Wow - Thanks to everybody who has helped so far. Much improvement done already. I've been very busy in the real world lately but will start to work the cite issue after the American Idol finale is over. Hopefully everything that needs a cite will be cited by the end of this weekend. --mav 01:01, 24 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Ran out of time tonight. BTW, much of the article was originally PD text I compiled/refactored from here. I plan to create separate cites for each section in that long USGS article. Please try to do the same when creating cites - the article is really too long to not be more specific with cites. --mav 03:47, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * All cites from Fire Mountains of the West added. More cites later from Tilling USGS text. --mav 03:25, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * All cites from USGS precursor articles added. --mav


 * Well done as usual mav. There's some figures on the cost that could take citation. Otherwise, this can be kept unless Punctured B. has some more comments? Marskell 08:23, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks - Will do. I still have the Tilling text to finish citing. Should be done in a couple days at most. --mav

I think I'm done now. Anything else needs fixing? --mav 02:52, 4 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I've cited/fixed a few more things. I'm happy with it. -- Avenue 14:42, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Looks good, no FARC needed. Sandy Georgia (Talk) 04:12, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
