Happy to review the article.

Review

The article is generally is fine shape, and the comments that follow are about relatively minor issues that can easily be addressed.

Lead section

• Unlink Canada; United States; Premier (MOS:OL).
• Link Alaskan.
• CFMETR needs to be written in full (the abbreviation can then follow).
• Unlink Prince Rupert (duplicate link).

Done all above

• The map lacks sources, what makes you think it is accurate?

Cross-referencing with others mostly, but removed because I can't find a great way to prove it's accurate.

1 Background

• Consider linking Pacific salmon and International Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commission, even though they are linked in the lead section.
• Replace year-to-year with ‘annually’?
• fourteen or fifteen years is normally written ‘14 or 15 years’. (minor point)
• Link migratory; spawning (Spawn (biology)). .

Done all

2 Conflict

• Amend Brian Tobin to ‘Tobin’ and unlink (it’s a duplicate link).
• Twelve – ‘12’?
• Who is Barbara Rothstein?
• Unlink Fraser River; Minister of Fisheries (duplicate links).
• the Canadians – Canada is better imo.
• Link C$ (Canadian dollar); Native American tribes; torpedo.
• the war was essentially ended – is ‘war’ a little strong-sounding here?

Done all

3 Resolution

• Unlink sockeye salmon (duplicate link).
• Move the link to chinook salmon to where it first occurs in the text.
• I would amend Bill Clinton to ‘U.S. President Bill Clinton’, to be consistent.
• Who are David Strangway and Jean Chrétien?

Done

4.1 Footnotes

• Consider linking The Economist and other publications with their own article in Wikipedia.
• Refs 2 and 6 seem to be identical, and would normally be amended using something like <ref name="" />.
• Consider using the {{subscription required}} template for Refs 7, 13, 19 and 21.
• Ref 1(Restoring Fraser River Salmon) is in title case throughout.
• According to MOS:FNNR, “Editors may use any citation method they choose, but it should be consistent within an article.” The {{sfn}} style is prevalent, but Ref 1 provides complete, formatted details about the source.
• Avoid purely numerical dates (e.g. (2020-02-01) in Ref 7).

think I got all this

4.2 Bibliography

• Ref 1 has a location specified, so the sources in this section need locations too, for the sake of consistency.
• Presumably Karol de Zwager Brown’s last name is de Zwager Brown, not Brown?

Done both, removed location

6 External links

• This section appears to be empty, so the title can be removed.

On hold

I'm putting the article on hold for a week until 15 July 26 July to allow time for the issues raised to be addressed once you return from your wikibreak. Regards, Amitchell125 (talk) 17:52, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, Amitchell125, I think I've addressed everything. Let me know if that's not the case. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 14:48, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
