  •   New, long enough, reads well (will make a couple tweaks myself). Sources are somewhat catalogue-y but support what you've written well. QPQ good. Few notes:
    • Is it 2003 or 2014 when the Adams Wilderness Area was established?
    • First paragraph of Geography may be missing final citation
    • Second paragraph of Geography seems overly detailed - why describe so precisely these relatively small individual glaciers? Or is this standard with this kind of article
    • Hook is fine but might be more interesting to say something like ALT1: ... that the Garden of Eden Ice Plateau is part of an ice field with many biblically named glaciers? (but phrased better)
    • (P.S. to editors: I'm back editing Wikipedia after a longish break, so if I'm forgetting anything please let me know) Hameltion (talk, contribs)
    • Oh also, the orphan tag is a concern but I expect you'll be on that in due time. Hameltion (talk, contribs) 17:52, 2 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
      • Thanks, some good pickups there (and in your edits to the article itself) - as far as the detail on the small glaciers is concerned, I figured they may not be notable enough for their own articles so I wanted to give a little bit of detail on them in this article. Would also be happy with something along the lines of ALT1 if the preference was for that, but I felt that the original banning might add something more to it and make it more of a hook (why did they ban that? when did it get reversed? etc).
      • I'll go through and make some further changes to the article now in line with your feedback!Turnagra (talk) 18:23, 2 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
