Will be happy to review this. I'll definitely finish this in the morning at the latest. JAGUAR 15:27, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Initial comments

"half of Level Mountain consists of a shield-like edifice" - link shield (geology)?

No, it's referring to shield. Linked it to that article. Volcanoguy 01:45, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"These valleys serve as a radical drainage for several small streams" - what is radical referring to here? Am I thinking of it the wrong way, or is it used as a geology term?

It was a typo; supposed to be radial. Volcanoguy 01:45, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"What is known for certain, however, is that the current volcanism rates are much less" - bit informal

How so? Volcanoguy 01:45, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe I was thinking about it too much, I thought "What is known for certain" felt like an extract from a journal, but it's fine JAGUAR 16:32, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"In H. S. Bostock's 1948 report Physiography of the Canadian Cordillera, With Special Reference to the Area North of the Fifty-Fifth Parallel he states that Level Mountain" - comma needed in between "parallel" and "he"

Done. Volcanoguy 01:45, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"The climate of Level Mountain is influenced by the presence of the Coast Mountains" - link Coast Mountains?

Is it necessary to link it twice? It's already linked in the introduction. Volcanoguy 01:45, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

True, I sometimes use two links - one in the lead and one in the body, but this doesn't matter. JAGUAR 16:32, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Level Mountain experiences relatively light snowfall unlike the westerly Coast Mountains" - the fact that the Coast Mountains are west is already established

Removed. Volcanoguy 01:45, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"The Yukon Telegraph Trail of 1890s fame" - is this a road?

Yes. Volcanoguy 01:45, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"The Interagency Volcanic Event Notification Plan (IVENP)" - no need for the abbreviation as this isn't mentioned later in the article

Removed. Volcanoguy 01:45, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

On hold

I spent a long time reading through and checking this article. Simply put, it is close to meeting the FA criteria and should pass this GAN easily once all of the minor prose issues are addressed. This is an excellent article as it is both comprehensive and well written. JAGUAR 15:15, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Jaguar: Thanks for reviewing it. Any ideas for FA? Volcanoguy 01:50, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for addressing them! This meets the GA criteria now, so I'll be promoting. From a reader's point of view, it looks like this is close to meeting the FA criteria because it is comprehensive and well written (the main factors for an FA). Admittedly I'm no expert on volcanoes, so perhaps some people who are knowledgeable in the matter would spotcheck some technical things. I would advise to go over the sources before nominating, as I've had well-written articles fail at FAC because some prose didn't comply with the sources. I'll be happy to look at this again if you decide to nominate in the future.
