Tone

I adjusted the tone a little, but I still feel that it reads a bit wrong. I am rather new to edits of this type and would like a second set of eyes on this, if at all possible. Cmrc23 (talk) 08:30, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

(Hi, I added the template.) Your edit was a substantial improvement—thank you—but you're correct that there are some spots remaining. For example:

• This vast area features numerous lakes, rivers teeming with red salmon, diverse wildlife, notably the Alaska brown bear... Compare that to the matter-of-fact tone of the lede of the article about Katmai itself.
• encourage positive human-nature interactions through the utilization of live webcams strategically placed along the Brooks River. Simply too many words.

There might be more I've missed, and I'm not a MOS expert, so I'd go so far as to call in a third set of eyes. But, anyway, I appreciate your help cleaning this article up. Ursus arctos californicus (talk) 05:28, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

@Ursus arctos californicus I think it's almost fixed, but I'm not sure about the last paragraph in the lede

• Beyond its playful competitive aspect, Fat Bear Week also serves to promote bear conservation, cultivate an interest in wildlife, and encourage positive human-nature interactions through the use of live webcams strategically placed at Brooks Falls and along the Brooks River.

I would really like to hear from others on how this section can be improved! Cmrc23 (talk) 05:56, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

I altered the paragraph following advice from a helpful user on the discord. I think it's ready to remove the template now. Cmrc23 (talk) 10:00, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Pinging @Ca and @Ursus arctos californicus for opinions Cmrc23 (talk) 10:03, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

I think there are some places where minor improvements could be made, but that is an issue for WP:GA or WP:FA reviews. I think the tone tag is now unnecessary. Ca ^{talk to me!} 10:28, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Agreed. Thanks, everyone! Ursus arctos californicus (talk) 20:27, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

2023

Hello, As none of the other years have dedicated sections, I have removed most of the 2023 section. It is in the page history if anyone disagrees. I have moved the section on the missing hiker to the "history" section, as i feel like it fits with the list of incidents. --Cmrc23 (talk) 07:10, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Images added

Hello, I added some brackets from the katmai flickr, but I'm not sure if they quite fit where I put them. In my opinion, the bear images should be moved up to "history", and the bracket photos can remain where they are. Cmrc23 ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ 21:54, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
