@Jaguar and Volcanoguy: what's going on?? this sat here for the whole of april. 750 h+ 09:25, 12 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

I'm very sorry for the delay - life has been very hectic lately. Will finish this now. ♦ JAGUAR 15:53, 15 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Lead

"is a stratovolcano in Cassiar Land District of northwestern British Columbia" - is this not missing a definite article ('the')?
"The third and fourth stages 0.9 million years ago" - 900,000 years ago?
""Thick trachyte flows were issued during the fifth stage 0.3 million years ago" - likewise, 300,000 years ago

Body

"A period of volcanic activity 0.3 million years ago deposited the Kakiddi Formation which also truncates the Ice Peak Formation." - same here, in the Stratigraphy subsection. Is there a technical reason why these are preferred?
"Most of the Buckley Lake to Mowdade Lake Route is marked by a series of rock cairns from Tsekone Ridge onwards" - cairns has already been linked in the article

I've read through the entire article and am impressed by the usual standards. As a result I can find nothing holding this back, so will pass this outright. Apologies again for the delay. ♦ JAGUAR 16:13, 15 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Under the title of "Naming," where is says "native name," change "native" to "Indigenous." This change is in accordance with appropriate and official rules for referring to Indigenous peoples, as per the British Columbia provincial government. Freyja-luna (talk) 07:45, 2 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Not done. The naming of infobox parameters is coded in {{Infobox mountain}}. Also, Wikipedia does not follow the rules of the British Columbia government. Volcanoguy 16:23, 2 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
