  • Hi Parkywiki, nice article! However, the lead contains information that is not cited at all. Please either add inline citations to the lead or, ideally, provide the same information, with inline citations, in the body of the article and rewrite the lead to only summarize the rest of the article. I also recommend wikilinking "St Gervais" in the lead, even though it's already linked further below. The information in ALT1 ("thousands still live under its threat") is not supported by the sources cited where this informaton appears in the article, but it is supported by source cited elsewhere in the article, so you may simply repeat the appropriate citation (e.g., the BBC article) after "to protect the 3,000 inhabitants in the valley below." — Kpalion(talk) 13:23, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
Good advice Kpalion, thanks. I've restructured the article, repeating the reference I had used later on, and from which quite a lot of the uncited lead facts came from. I think this makes the article better cited and have added a couple of mountaineering guidebook refs. Other suggestions have also been taken on board and are fixed now, too.Parkywiki (talk) 15:34, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
General: Article is new enough and long enough

And it's good to go! Either hook is OK and I don't have any personal preference. — Kpalion(talk) 17:32, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
