Shoshone National Forest

[edit]
Notified: MONGO, WikiProject Protected areas, WikiProject United States, diff for talk page notification (2023-05-16)

Issues about this Featured Article—primarily, outdated info—were raised in January 2021. The article was then listed at WP:FARGIVEN in May 2023 when updates failed to materialize in the preceding year. Since then, other than rescuing dead links, no major updates have been made; a major contributor who is just now notified hasn't been active for at least one year.

  • Move to FARC reluctantly. The issues here aren't especially extensive, and I'd be happy to give MONGO or anyone else interested more time to address them. But it's been four years since the initial notification, over a year since MONGO was last active, and two months since this FAR was started, so I do think we need to move toward delisting unless someone wants to take this on.

  • Move to FARC – no work being done to address issues. Sgubaldo (talk) 20:40, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Throwing in my hat to try to bring this up to date. There's a Forest Service book from the 2020s that should do the trick. -SusanLesch (talk) 19:02, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There is no Forest Service 2020s book. A librarian at the National Agricultural Library discovered today that Google Books's find, ostensibly from 2021, is republished 1941 text.
Separately, SandyGeorgia left us a list from 2020 as a starting point. -SusanLesch (talk) 01:50, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Copied from Sandy's list:

  • including the largest population of Bighorn sheep and one of the few locations Grizzly bears can still be found in the contiguous U. S..
  • limited hunting of wolves was permitted in the forest starting in 2012 ... where does that stand ?
  • Other ungulate species are much more common and there are over 20,000 elk (also known as wapiti) and 40,000 mule deer ...
  • However, the state water board for Wyoming lists only 63 glaciers for the entire Wind River Range, which includes glaciers in adjacent Bridger-Teton National Forest.[84] Researchers claim that for most of the period that glaciers have been known to exist in the forest, that they have been in a state of general retreat, with glacial mass losses of as much as 25 percent between the years 1985 and 2009.
  • Gannett Glacier, on the northeast slope of Gannett Peak, is the largest single glacier in the U.S. Rocky Mountains. It has reportedly lost over 50 percent of its volume since 1920 with 25 percent of that occurring between the years 1980–1999.

Withdrawing save attempt. I tried three books and cannot reconcile what the article says to reliable sources. Our public library had only two maps and zero books. I don't understand lionizing President Roosevelt and General Sheridan. They aren't mentioned in my sources. Sorry. -SusanLesch (talk) 14:54, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
