Almost there. Move one comma to another sentence and see about all those 2017s in the lead. No other concerns besides those. 7-day hold to Vami_IV. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:45, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Copy changes

Wonder if there are too many uses of "2017" in the lead sentence, especially sentences 2–3

By June 9, an area of 15–20 acres (6.1–8.1 ha) was on fire and the flames were spreading in the direction of the Frye Mesa Reservoir. Add a comma after "fire" (User:Sammi Brie/Commas in sentences)

On June 24, the Frye Fire was pushed back from the MGIO and was estimated to be 29% contained, but grew to 35,569 acres (14,394 ha). For the same reason, you don't need a comma after "contained"

Sourcing and spot checks

Earwig's biggest fit was over "the Mount Graham red squirrel, an endangered subspecies of the American red squirrel", from one of the Republic articles. I'm fine with this because it's the most succinct description of the squirrel. No other textual issues.

Five references were selected for spot checks.

15: Daily Star article on wildfire smoke from mostly the Frye Fire. Y
20: June 25 KGUN report notes containment on the fire. Y
22: Vatican Observatory report by Rev. Pavel Gabor ("Frye Fire: VATT Damage Assessment on June 27") in which he notes no sign of heat or smoke damage. Y
40: Eastern Arizona Courier report is one of two citations at this location and backs up the overflow part. "This actually overflowed into the field and came over the road; that’s why it’s muddy here," Y
48: December 2022 Republic article, The Mount Graham red squirrel population peaked in the 1990s at about 550. The numbers began to decline again and typically ranged from 200-300 squirrels annually up until the 2017 Frye Fire. with the current number at 156. Y
