Verifiability
Geography
- None of the sources in the first line say that Nahta Cone is located in Cassiar Land District, though the Arctic Lake Plateau part is fine. The BC govt site has an entry for Nahta Cone which is a useful source to add.
- The map cited in the first sentence is of Cassiar Land District (Telegraph Creek, Cassiar Land District, British Columbia). Volcanoguy 15:50, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- I've swapped the map for the BCGN source since that one makes it clearer. Volcanoguy 16:11, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- GVP uses the name Nahto, and coords are slightly to the north of the cone but very likely refer to this feature
- GVP corrected the spelling in September so I have removed the archive of that source until there is a new one. Volcanoguy 16:08, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- "Between Nahta Cone and Tadekho Hill is Nahta Creek ..." > Is there a source that doesn't require interpreting the map? There are a few components of this article that make use of a map.
- "With an area of 266,180 hectares ..." > The only descriptive source say "over 230,000 hectares"
- Further below "over 230,000 hectares" BC Parks claims the park has a size of 266,180 hectares. Volcanoguy 15:47, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
Geology
- Souther 1992, p. 214. ref should be after the first comma of line 1
- I don't see the problem with placing the source at the end of the sentence? Volcanoguy 16:13, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- It makes verification easier, especially long sentences and with commas. Consider breaking the first two lines if you prefer to keep refs at the end. Those lines are also quite long. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 16:31, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- I understand, but inline citations are often placed at the end of a sentence or paragraph per WP:IC. Volcanoguy 16:55, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- I still think the second line is too long so please break it into two if possible. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 23:47, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- I've shortened the sentence by deleting "which has been the focus of episodic volcanism for the last 7.5 million years". Volcanoguy 00:35, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

- Can you email me a copy of Wood & Kienle (1990), at least the relevant pages you used. Whole book would be good too, seems like an interesting read
- I have a physical copy of the book but not a digital copy, sorry. Volcanoguy 16:27, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- If you click on the Google Books link provided in the source and then search "Edziza", the cited page should show up. Volcanoguy 17:11, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- Page 124 is hidden, I'll try to find a way around that. If you could photocopy that page that'll be great Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 23:50, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- I've deleted this source since it was used to support the blurb I deleted. Volcanoguy 00:35, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

- "focus of episodic volcanism for the last 7.5 million years", pending verification
- Para 2 ok
Name and etymology
- Good
Accessibility
- Good
Lead, prose & MOS
- Lead & infobox good
- Prose is fine
Will go through the new changesDora the Axe-plorer (explore) 00:09, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- One more thing, the line about Jack Souther's radiocarbon date can be rewritten in the active voice. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 01:01, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- Meaning? Volcanoguy 01:36, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- Something like: "Canadian volcanologist Jack Souther obtained a radiocarbon date of 1,340 years from the lava flows."
- I think the air-fall tephra sentence could also be reworded: "Air-fall tephra was deposited, and a roughly 3-kilometre-long (1.9-mile) lava flow effused and traveled northerly and then westerly into the head of Nahta Creek during Nahta Cone's formation" Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 01:51, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- These rewordings seem trivial since they are describing the same thing but in a different way. Volcanoguy 16:05, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- The current wording contributes to the choppy flow as I'm reading Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 00:01, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Dora the Axe-plorer: I've reorganized the second paragraph in the geology section, please check to see if it's any better. Volcanoguy 18:29, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
