2017 Montana wildfires

  • The first hook might need clarification as I think the 438,000 acre number pertains to large fires only. Another source in the article says 1 million ac, presumably for all recorded fires. Also it should probably be displayed in metric if it makes the main page. ☆ Bri (talk) 20:53, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
  • Hence "over". Template:Ping, I'm reluctant to go too far into SYNTH territory as 438K is the number stated in the NYT source -- "large" is undefined there and I can't figure out where they got the 21 fires number because the data on inciweb is constantly changing and I can't figure out what math they used (also, their data may have been old by the time they published). I'm up for using one million, but we need a different source for that. Fixed the conversion issue. Montanabw(talk) 02:02, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Symbol confirmed.svg New and long enough, within policy, Earwig detects no copyvios, QPQ done. Hooks all check out, though I've made a few tweaks. John P. Sadowski (NIOSH) (talk) 22:02, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
