• I'll take this one!  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 17:50, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Image review

• File:Agency Lake.JPG - I see that there are annotations, but it might be worth mentioning the butte in the caption as well.

• Not sure I follow. Doesn't the caption mention the Butte as is? ceranthor 23:43, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

• Sorry, I meant the description. Right now there is only "East docks Agency Lake (Oregon), USA. Mount McLoughlin in the far left." — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:57, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

• Got it. Added now. ceranthor 00:24, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

• File:View from Mount McLoughlin.jpg - Everything looks good; proper license, and tagged as reviewed.

Prose review

• Lede is a bit sparse and should be expanded.

• Fixed, I think.

• Is there a good target for axis, within the context of geology?

• Not sure I follow.

• I was wondering if "axis" has any specific link in this context (as opposed to a generic gloss). If not, no worries.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:18, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

• several tens of meters - is there a more specific number available, something less ambiguous? This suggests something between 30 and 50 m, at least to me.

• Not that I know of - always use specific numbers when I can!

• Check capitalization on animals. I note, for example, that Northern flying squirrel does not capitalize "N" in the article itself.

• Fixed.

• breccia based on eroded areas with breccia between lava flows, though breccia - any way of avoiding the repetition of breccia?

• Fixed I think.

• There are a couple of one-sentence paragraphs. Any way of merging them elsewhere?  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 17:50, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

• Fixed.

• The Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution does not list any specific subfeatures for Pelican Butte. - This is quite short, and as a layperson I'm not sure of the relevance. Is it worth merging with something?

• Fixed. Merged with para, GVP often includes subfeature info.

• Pleistocene - worth contextualizing with MYA?

• Fixed.

• Lost Peak - any etymology on this?

• Nope not that I know.

• L-4 lookout - any link for classification of lookouts?

  Added.

• The United States Congress designated the Sky Lakes Wilderness area in 1984. - Worth mentioning the volcano again, as Sky Lakes Wilderness was mentioned three sections ago?

• Fixed.

• The Pacific Crest Trail passes through the Sky Lakes wilderness area, running about 35 miles (56 km) in length. - Does it cross the butte?

• Not that I'm aware of!.

Replied to most, will get to the rest of course! ceranthor 00:10, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Source review

• Not a GA requirement, but moving forward I would recommend archiving the internet references. It helps prevent link rot.
• Overall, reference formatting looks really good! I did standardize the date format.
• Earwig indicates low likelihood of copyvio.
• Have spotchecked Refs [6], [8], [17], and [29]. I didn't see any issues.

• Noted re archiving, and thanks for the rest of these comments/checks. ceranthor 23:44, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Conclusion

This is very well written! Just a few comments, and it should be an easy pass. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 22:30, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Think I've gotten to everything now. Thanks! ceranthor 00:32, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

• Looks good! I'm happy to say that this meets the GA criteria, and will be promoting it soon. Congrats! — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:20, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
