{{teal|Did you know? If you fancy doing so, I always have plenty of GA nominees to review. Just look for the all-uppercase titles in the Television section. Reviews always appreciated.}}

=Copy changes=

  • Link Angeles National Forest in the lead
  • Hyphenate "fifth-largest"
  • {{!xt|At 5:00 p.m., the head of the fire crested the hills above Green Valley, and an hour later a second flank of the fire entered the canyon as firefighters fought to protect the structures there, and were partially successful: by the end of the day, the fire had burned more than 15,600 acres (6,300 ha) and had added five homes to its toll.}} Sentence is quite long. Try {{!xt|At 5:00 p.m., the head of the fire crested the hills above Green Valley, and an hour later a second flank of the fire entered the canyon as firefighters fought to protect the structures there. They were partially successful: by the end of the day, the fire had burned more than 15,600 acres (6,300 ha) and had added five homes to its toll.}}
  • {{!xt|it was "going to be another couple days before we get a handle on this."}} MOS:LOGICAL sentence fragment, quote inside period.

:* {{done}} Copy changes [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Copper_Fire&diff=prev&oldid=1248783784 made]; good spots all. — Penitentes (talk) 13:16, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

=Sourcing and spot checks=

  • 1: The Signal article checks out for inaccessible definition of terrain, Green Valley, 5,600 acre number, cresting, and firefighter counts. {{tick}}
  • 6: {{tq|one of the earliest fire seasons in decades}} {{tick}}
  • 10: Near-shutdown of the second line; reduced containment; 2,000 in Green Valley and Warm Springs to evacuate. {{tick}}
  • 16: Final county road damage toll; June 7 local emergency. {{tick}}
  • 17: Environmental damage assessments. {{tick}}

No other sourcing concerns. Earwig mostly turns up banal phrases and organization names.

=Images=

There are two images, both in the infobox. The map is the user's creation and appropriately licensed. (It's truly impressive, by the way.) The other is PD-NASA. Alt text is provided.
