Question (done)

[edit]

"In the fall when burning permits were no longer required, farmers and settlers started to set small brush fires to clear the land."

Should this instead say bush fires? Thanks Jenova20 09:59, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I changed this in the article, without checking the reference. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 06:36, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Issues for a knowledgeable editor

[edit]
  1. "It has been called one of the ten worst natural disasters in Canadian history." - by who? Jenova20 10:04, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  2. "The fire destroyed over 90% of the town, killing 11 residents, leaving 3500 people homeless, and causing $2 million of damage." - I'm assuming the value attached is from 1922 but is that definitely the case? Jenova20 10:04, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  3. "An area of 246,000 hectares was destroyed in the fire." - this should be tagged to convert the coverage. Thanks Jenova20 10:04, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
