I've listed this article for peer review because I feel it is a solid list, and would like to know how else it can be improved. I have sourced every entry completely, found new entries, copyedited the descriptions, and expanded the lead. I've never gone for
featured list before, and would like to be prepared.

Brianboulton comments: This is an unusual list, interesting in a rather macabre fashion. I do however have a number of questions:-

Hokeman comments: I created this article in 2006; and will try to use this space to respond to some of the questions Brianboulton has raised, as well as express some of my own thoughts. This was the second creation of five lists (Shark, Bear, Alligator, Cougar, Snake) relating to fatal animal attacks in North America or the USA. My intent in creating the first, List of fatal, unprovoked shark attacks in the United States, was to provide users a centralized, concise summary of what, when, where and how these attacks happened. This article, in particular, has benefitted from some terrific collaboration from many Wikipedians; none has contributed more than User:CutOffTies, who deserves special recognition. Well done.
The article begins around 1870 bacause that is probably the earliest attack for which information is readily available. Information on attacks that occurred in recent years in places like Yellowstone or Glacier NP's is generally readily available. Much harder to find is information on attacks in remote areas and/or that happened a long time ago.
With respect to the "known" paragraph, I don't know of any other central register. That was one of my goals in creating this article. I just started by googling phrases such as 'fatal bear attack', which led to articles. Sometimes, I would find a information about more than one attack in a source. Once I had names, dates, etc. I could find more information.
As far as putting photos in the article, I'm not sure what would be appropriate or not in poor taste. Maybe a photo of a bear in Yellowstone or Glacier NP.-- Hokeman ( talk) 06:30, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
