    B. All in-line citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines:

    @Zackmann08: Many thanks for taking care of those. This week, am slightly swamped with other commitments but I will get back to the article & its Review as soon as I can. Just don't want anyone to think I had forgotten about it. Shearonink (talk) 19:07, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    C. It contains no original research:
    With the fixing of the referencing issues this issue is resolved. Shearonink (talk) 19:07, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
    Ran copyvio tool - no problems found.
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:
    File:Wind shifts.jpg is lacking source & author information.

    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
    That photo of the fire crossing the highway...((shivers)).
    And kudos to whoever uploaded it and used it in the article. Shearonink (talk) 19:07, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    Any further comments on other possible issues and the article's status are on hold for a few days due to other commitments and also pending a few more readthroughs. Shearonink (talk) 19:07, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment. This article was previously nominated for GA status: Talk:Cedar Fire (2003)/GA1. Its structure, wording, citation issues have all been improved and cleared-up since then. I particularly commend Zackmann08 for their writing concerning the aftermath of the fire and the various controversies as well as fixing all the various referencing issues. I am certain there are some improvements that could be made but at this time I cannot think of any. Nicely-done. Shearonink (talk) 16:44, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
