It has been nearly twenty-five years. Could the state of the burned areas today be compared to the condition of the park just before 1988? Fotoguzzi ( talk) 04:21, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Hello Fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Yellowstone fires of 1988. Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{
Sourcecheck}}
).
An editor has reviewed this edit and fixed any errors that were found.

There is a technical definition of a firestorm, firestorm is not a vague slang term. Hot, wind-driven forest fires are almost never firestorms. Firestorms are intense fires where so much heat is rising that it sucks air in from all directions at ground level, like a thunderstorm. An example would be the firebombing of Dresden. Winds at ground level were so strong that trees were uprooted and fell towards the fire. In this article the term "firestorm" is used to describe intense fires which were driven by strong winds. These are NOT firestorms. For this reason the description of these fires as "firestorms" should be removed. Please read the Firestorm article before restoring any text describing the fires in Yellowstone as "firestorms". Senor Cuete ( talk) 17:47, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
From the Firestorm article:
"the phenomenon's determining characteristic is a fire with its own storm-force winds from every point of the compass."
"Large wildfire conflagrations are distinct from firestorms if they have moving fire fronts which are driven by the ambient wind and do not develop their own wind system like true firestorms."

Edit war, edit war. What a shame that user:MONGO refuses to follow Wikipedia policy and discuss this here. I can't actually make complete sense of what he says about this in his reason for reverting my edit but it appears that he's claiming that lots of references mention the "firestorms", but won't cite them. Also it appears that he hasn't read what I posted here or refuses to read about what a firestorm actually is. The article clearly describes wind-driven running crown fires, which are NOT firestorms. Seriously, how about a reliable source? Senor Cuete ( talk) 02:05, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
Parking some refs in conjunction with those already presented. Will adjust wording in article and add RS in support soon as I have adequate time.

@ Mongo: @ LightandDark2000: Please discuss your edit conflict here, not in your edit summaries. A few thoughts:
I propose stating the estimated cost as "$120 million (suppression) and $3 million (property damage)" or something similar. – dlthewave ☎ 17:19, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
I added a citation, can someone edit it to make it point to a specific part of the article I put? Thank you! MrRobloxDev lgjavajr ( talk) 16:11, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi all, not sure whether this is a settled question or not. All the fire names as used in the article have 'fire' as lower-case, as in North Fork fire, Red fire, etc. This is the style used by many news sources, such as the New York Times, but the federal government (including the NPS and InciWeb) always capitalize the Fire, and so do most wildfire Wikipedia articles. Capitalization is my usual preference; it makes clear that the name of the fire is the name, as opposed to just a geographic indicator.
Do people have a preference for keeping the lower-case? If no one is opposed I'd like to move to upper. Penitentes ( talk) 13:54, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
