Tone

I adjusted the tone a little, but I still feel that it reads a bit wrong. I am rather new to edits of this type and would like a second set of eyes on this, if at all possible. Cmrc23 (talk) 08:30, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(Hi, I added the template.) Your edit was a substantial improvement—thank you—but you're correct that there are some spots remaining. For example:

This vast area features numerous lakes, rivers teeming with red salmon, diverse wildlife, notably the Alaska brown bear... Compare that to the matter-of-fact tone of the lede of the article about Katmai itself.
encourage positive human-nature interactions through the utilization of live webcams strategically placed along the Brooks River. Simply too many words.

There might be more I've missed, and I'm not a MOS expert, so I'd go so far as to call in a third set of eyes. But, anyway, I appreciate your help cleaning this article up. Ursus arctos californicus (talk) 05:28, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ursus arctos californicus I think it's almost fixed, but I'm not sure about the last paragraph in the lede

Beyond its playful competitive aspect, Fat Bear Week also serves to promote bear conservation, cultivate an interest in wildlife, and encourage positive human-nature interactions through the use of live webcams strategically placed at Brooks Falls and along the Brooks River.

I would really like to hear from others on how this section can be improved! Cmrc23 (talk) 05:56, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I altered the paragraph following advice from a helpful user on the discord. I think it's ready to remove the template now. Cmrc23 (talk) 10:00, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @Ca and @Ursus arctos californicus for opinions Cmrc23 (talk) 10:03, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think there are some places where minor improvements could be made, but that is an issue for WP:GA or WP:FA reviews. I think the tone tag is now unnecessary. Ca ^{talk to me!} 10:28, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Thanks, everyone! Ursus arctos californicus (talk) 20:27, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2023

Hello, As none of the other years have dedicated sections, I have removed most of the 2023 section. It is in the page history if anyone disagrees. I have moved the section on the missing hiker to the "history" section, as i feel like it fits with the list of incidents. --Cmrc23 (talk) 07:10, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
