New: Good. Length: > 2500 chars. Policy: I have some issue with some of the writing in this article. This sentence does not make any sense to me at all except in the most general way: "Methane gas released into the atmosphere is comparatively a dangerous "greenhouse gas" whose potential for global warming is high of the order of 72 (averaged over 20 years) or 25 (averaged over 100 years)."

- Thanks for the review. I invite your kind attention to reference 4 in the article which is the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, Table 2.14, Chap. 2, p. 212, and it is also mentioned in Wikipedia article Greenhouse gas, section on Global warming potential and the table below this section (ref 13 in this article) is also taken from the same reference as used by us. If you feel that it is a generalized statement made with no specific mention of the site, then it could be deleted.--Nvvchar. 02:31, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
- I think I had already seen the content in the source the article was drawing from, but the sentence in the article, while probably about relevant information, still doesn't make any logical sense at all. What units is it even using? Abyssal (talk) 21:41, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
- In the article on Greenhouse gas the sentence used is that "GWP is measured relative to the same mass of CO2 and evaluated for a specific timescale." Any way, I have deleted that above sentence and instead provided a wikilink to Greenhouse gas. --Nvvchar. 02:17, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
- The hook fact needs cited immediately at the end of the sentence. The article seems to attribute the date to a source I can't verify myself a sentence later. Also, nowhere in the article does it specifically say that the fire started the same year as its discovery. This is all that needs fixed. Please hurry, I don't want to miss out on this being on the main page for Halloween. Abyssal (talk) 03:23, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
