Article seems good, images well used and all acceptably sourced. No dead links, references are formatted acceptably. Concerns:

  • The words "big tree the largest diameter douglas fir known in oregon" seem to have been copied verbatim from the source, please re-word.
  • Does source 2 support the whole of the second paragraph of the Fauna and Flora section? If so could this be indicated through re[eated the citation more than purely at the end?
  • Similarly does source 45 support the whole second paragraph of the activities section?

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to review this article. I recast the big tree sentence to say: "Big Tree, thought to be the thickest Douglas-fir in the state." I have added citations to the other sentences in the two paragraphs you mention above. They were source 2 and source 45, respectively. Finetooth (talk) 05:30, 24 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thank you, Gilderien, for taking the time to conduct a review. And thank you, FT, for addressing these concerns. I have been away from my computer, and will remain so for a few more days, but I am thrilled to see that this GAN review was successful. --Another Believer (Talk) 00:17, 25 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
You are welcome, the GA backlog is far too long and I decided I might as well be proactive rather than be silently annoyed at how long my own nominations were taking to be reviewed, though as a personal opinion this is exactly the sort of thing people should be working on rather than the plethora of popular music articles currently at GAN. If you (plural) have any articles similar in topic you nominate just give me a ping.--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 00:23, 25 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
